Kwame Opoku scored twice as Asante Kotoko beat Golden Kick FC 2-1 to claim their tenth FA Cup trophy. The striker helped his team secure victory at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium during the final match. Opoku expressed his gratitude after the game and called the win incredibly meaningful for everyone involved. He stressed that Kotoko players must deliver silverware because the club demands success from its stars. The 26-year-old forward believes no player should spend multiple seasons at the famous club without bringing home trophies.
Opoku returned to Kotoko this past January following his adventures playing professional football overseas. He had spent time with USM Alger and Olympique Khourigba during his period away from Ghana. His first departure from Kotoko came suddenly despite leading the league scoring charts with eight goals that season. The talented attacker decided to test himself against international competition before coming back home. His return has proven successful with this latest cup triumph.
The emotional striker dedicated the FA Cup victory to Francis Frimpong, known as Nana Pooley among supporters. Frimpong passed away tragically during a match against Nsoatreman FC earlier this season. Opoku said the trophy honors his late teammate and brings joy to fans who have supported the team through difficult times. He emphasized that the achievement matters to every player wearing the Kotoko jersey. Next season will see Opoku leading the attack as Kotoko prepares for continental competition.
