Asante Kotoko present 2021/22 Ghana Premier League trophy to Otumfuo at Manhyia

Kumasi Asante Kotoko have presented the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League trophy to the Asantehene who is the life patron of the club, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at the Manhyia Palace today.

The playing body together with the management, led by the Chief Executive Officer, Nana Yaw Amponsah were at Manhyia to present the trophy to the owner of the club.

The Porcupine Warriors lifted the trophy in front of thousands of fans at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi after a convincing 3-0 win over Elmina Sharks in the matchday 33 games.

Prosper Narteh Ogum‘s side secured their position as champions on June 2 but had to wait until their final home game of the season to get their hands on the trophy.

Kotoko were awarded the trophy in front of thousands of fans who were delighted to witness the team’s success after a disappointing last season in which the Porcupine Warriors went trophyless while bitter rivals Hearts of Oak won both the league and the FA Cup.

Left-back Ibrahim Imoro scored a stunning free-kick in 26 minutes to give Kotoko a halftime lead.

Kotoko came out of the break determined to score more goals, and Cameroonian attacker Mfegue Omgba delivered, scoring twice in the final 12 minutes.

Kotoko will conclude their campaign in Accra against Accra Lions on Saturday, June 18 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Porcupine Warriors will represent the country at the 2022/23 CAF Champions League.
