GPL report: Kotoko beat B.A United in 6-goal thriller

Richard Mpong came on from the bench to score two quick goals that helped Asante Kotoko beat B.A United 4-2 on match day 28 of the First Capital Plus Premier League at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kumasi on Sunday.

Amos Frimpong shot Kotoko into the lead in the 18 minute, after he headed home a corner kick from dead-ball expert, Eric Donkor.

Kotoko doubled their lead in the 25 minute through inform Obed Owusu.

Back from recess, the Apostles of Power Soccer came into the game strongly as if they needed the three points to avoid relegation and piled pressure on Kotoko.

It wasn't surprising, when B.A United pulled one back through Abdul karim, before Wahab Abdul brought them level to scare the Porcupine Warriors.

However, Richard Mpong, who came on for Frank Sarfo Gyamfi restored the lead for Kumasi Asante Kotoko and again sealed the doom of the Brong Ahafo boys with the 4 goal.

Asante Kotoko have now climbed up to the 3 position on the league log with 42 points, but will visit Hasaacas at the Essipong Sports Stadium in the Sekondi-Takoradi metropolis.

The Apostles of Power Soccer were condemned to relegation after Heart of Lions mesmerized them 5-0 on match day 26, so are now playing for pride.
