Isaac Oppong, Afoakwa On Target As Asante Kotoko Thrash Ghana Army Academy In Pre-season Friendly

Asante Kotoko continued their pre-season with an impressive 4-0 victory over second division outfit Ghana Army Academy on Friday morning in Accra.

Kotoko showed their intentions clear early in the game as they opened the scoring in the 4th minute through Shadrach Addo, who is on trial.

Addo scored a great goal after a fantastic build-up from the midfield.

Isaac Oppong, who had a wonderful start to last season, increased Kotoko’s tally to 2 with a sublime finish in the 26th minute.

With two minutes to end the first half, Dickson Afoakwa netted Kotoko’s third goal with a towering header.

Kotoko paraded a new set of players for the second stanza of the game.

The rest were Richard Boadu, Serge Eric Zeze, Dickson Afoakwa, Ernest Osei Bonsu, and Sarfo Taylor.

Four minutes into the half, Sarfo Taylor netted another goal for the Porcupine Warriors to complete the demolishing exercise.

No goal was produced again in the entertaining encounter.
