Watch Video: Matheus de Souza opens Asante Kotoko scoring account in RTU win

In the Ghana Premier League matchweek 25 encounter with Real Tamale United, Asante Kotoko’s Brazilian forward, Matheus Medeiros De Souza, marked his first goal for the club at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday night.

The 26-year-old attacker, who joined the Ghanaian champions in January, had only featured as a substitute in their 4-0 win over Accra Lions in February 2023 and started the midweek game against Legon Cities. Under previous coach Seydou Zerbo, he seemed to be out of favour, but he impressed new coach Gazale and was subbed out only in the 76th minute of the match at the El-Wak Stadium.

In the RTU game, Matheus de Souza made his second appearance in a Kotoko jersey and completed the victory with a goal in stoppage time, following earlier strikes from Augustine Agyapong and Steven Mukwala (who scored a brace).

The win pushed Kotoko up to fifth place on the league table, six points behind leaders Aduana Stars, while RTU occupy the eleventh position.
