Asante Kotoko beat lower-tier side Sporting Time FC in friendly ahead of Karela Utd showdown

Asante Kotoko, the reigning champions of the Ghana Premier League, showcased their superiority with an impressive 4-1 victory over lower-tier team Sporting Time in a friendly match at Adako Jachie Park on Thursday.

The friendly fixture was organized to assist Coach Abdul Gazale’s team in their preparations for their upcoming league clash against Karela United FC in week 32 of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League. The highly anticipated match is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 29, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

From the opening whistle, Asante Kotoko displayed their attacking prowess and quickly took control of the game. Captain Richard Boadu, along with Enoch Morrison, Clinton Opoku, and Sarfo Taylor, all got on the scoresheet, highlighting the team’s dominance. The collective effort of the players secured a convincing victory for the Porcupine Warriors.

Although Sporting Time managed to score a consolation goal from a penalty in the dying stages of the match, it did not pose a significant challenge to Asante Kotoko’s overall dominant performance.

Following their strong 3-1 win over Kotoku Royals earlier in the week, Asante Kotoko has reclaimed the fourth position in the league standings, accumulating a total of 47 points from 31 games.

These consecutive victories will undoubtedly boost the team’s confidence as they prepare for the upcoming match against Karela United.
