Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Kwame Opoku scored a late penalty for Asante Kotoko as they defeated Golden Kick 2-1 in the finals of this year’s MTN FA Cup.

It was the 10th FA Cup title clinched by the Porcupine Warriors, who would represent Ghana at the 2025-26 CAF Confederations Cup.

Division One League side Golden Kick started the game on the more dangerous side, putting Kotoko’s defenses on skates with relentless attacking play, especially on the wings.

Kotoko were very composed with play but struggled to put some decent passes together as the opponents dominated them.

Kwame Poku broke the deadlock for Asante Kotoko with a close-range shot in the 19th minute after Golden Kick failed to clear their lines.

Despite going down by a goal, Golden Kick were confident on the ball as they controlled the tempo of the game while creating some good chances.

Golden Kick deservedly pulled parity in the 34th minute after Bless Ege’s free kick stunned Kotoko goalkeeper Camara.

The Porcupine Warriors got lots of joy from corner kicks and nearly struck the lead in the 30th minute, but Petr Amidu’s header sailed wide.

Kotoko goalkeeper Camara pulled off a brilliant save to deny Golden Kick winger Zakari Mumuni on the brink of half.

Kotoko started the second half with a great chance to take the lead, but Peter Amidu’s curler was beautifully saved by Golden Kick goalkeeper Kelvin Kofi Saaba.

The start of the second was end-to-end, and a mistake nearly cost his side, but goalkeeper Camara pulled off a brilliant save.

The Golden Kick lads were dominant in possession, with fans applauding their dazzling play.

The introduction of Emmanuel Antwi midway through the second half seems to have given Kotoko some control in the midfield.

Peter Amidu had a glorious opportunity to win the game for Asante Kotoko in the 84th minute but shockingly missed from close range.

Referee Latif Addari awarded Kotoko a penalty in second half added time, and Kwame Opoku stepped up to win the game.
