Asante Kotoko thrash Gold Coast Academy in friendly encounter

Ahead of the commencement of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League second round, Asante Kotoko sold out an outstanding performance by beating Gold Coast Football Academy in the club’s second mid-season encounter in Kumasi on Wednesday morning.

Brazilian import, Fabio Gama, on the 76th-minutes gave the Reds a comfortable lead after a brilliant individual effort to score his first unofficial goal for the Porcupines before new signing Francis Andy Kumi who was making his debut for the club scored the fourth in the 87th-minute.

An amazing team effort resulted in a goal for new signing Sarfo Taylor who netted his second goal in his second game for the club in the 90th-minute to give the Reds 5-1 victory.
