Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum has shared his excitement after his completing a back to back victory on their bitter rivals, Hearts of Oak in the matchday 31 of the Ghana Premier League campaign.
The Uganda forward Steven Dese Mukwala scored two brilliant goals as the Porcupine Warriors cruised past the phobians by 2-0 win at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Mukwala opened the scoring in the eighth minute, outpacing his markers to latch onto a long ball, and controlling it well before slotting it in for the Porcupine Warriors.
He sealed the win in the 95th minute with a brilliant effort, cutting inside from the left and unleashing a shot that beat the goalkeeper.
“I’m very happy. Beating Hearts of Oak back to back is not an easy job. I think it’s an honour for this group of players because it’s been a while this thing happened. I’m not very sure of when this actually but it been a while so we are all happy” Ogum said in a post presser.
“I think Steve made it so beautiful. I engaged him before the game and I think he has lived up to the task. I’m even shot of words” he continue.
The win sends Asante Kotoko 9th position on the league table and further away from the relegation zone, while Hearts of Oak are currently 14th, just two points above the relegation zone with three games to end the season.
