Kotoko striker Kwame Opoku credits Lionel Messi his goalscoring techniques

Asante Kotoko marksman Kwame Opoku has credited Barcelona star Lionel Messi for the technique used in scoring his second goal against Liberty Professionals in the Ghana Premier League (GPL).

Opoku bagged a brace as Asante Kotoko bested Liberty Professionals 2-0 on match-day 8 of the Ghana Premier League at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday.

His second goal was a Messi-like goal- He controlled the ball with his chest and beat two opponents, before curling the ball over onrushing goalkeeper Kofi Baah of Liberty Professionals.

“I have been watching Lionel Messi’s videos and these are some of the goals he has been scoring, so I will give the credit to Lionel Messi.”

The two goals have taken Opoku’s goal tally to five this season, taking him to the top three scorers in the Ghana Premier League.
