Kotoko defeated New Edubiase to lift the Ghana Super Cup
The Porcupine Warriors served a warning to their opponents with a strong warning by their performance that they are not ready to relinquish the league title without a fight.
A brace by hot-shot striker Kofi Nti Boakye gave the Premier League champions their Cup triumph at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The match between the Glo League champions the the MTN FA Cup winners gave a firm indication of the high standard expected of the new season as all the top teams have embarked on massive recruitment drive.
Kotoko enjoyed more possession and that gave an indication that the Premier League champions may have enough firepower as it is when they open the new season at home on October 7.
Defensive lapses by Edubiase handed Kotoko both goals but the Porcupine Warriors showed more quality on the day than the side from Bekwai in the traditional curtain raiser to the new season.
Nti Boakye latched onto a weak header by Edubiase’s central defender Richard Adjei to his goalkeeper Iddrisu Salia as the Kotoko striker rounded the keeper and volleyed into the empty goal after 17 minutes of the first half.
Kotoko held onto the slim lead to end the first half 1-0 up.
Edubiase returned from the interval and just after restarting the game, paid dearly for another poor back-pass, this time to their central defence.
The Kotoko striker again was quick to win the ball and surged towards goal before going past two markers to drive a shot into the near post of goalkeeper Salia.
The Super Cup is played between the premiership champion and FA Cup winner to precede the start of the football season.

”Tete ton fc”
THE 2ND GOAL SCORED BY KOFI NTI-BOAKYE AGAINST NEW EDUBIASE IN THE SUPER CUP IN 10 SECONDS IS THE QUICKEST/FASTEST GOAL (ON RECORD) EVER SCORED IN A COMPETITIVE GAME ON THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.IT ERASES EX-EGYPTIAN INTERNATIONAL, AYMAN MANSOUR’S RECORD(GOAL SCORED IN 23 SECONDS)AGAINST GABON AT THE 1994 AFRICAN NATION’S CUP IN TUNISIA.THE GFA MUST DO WELL TO OFFICIALLY INFORM THE CONFEDERATION OF AFRICAN FOOTBALL(CAF) FOR THIS GHANAIAN RECORD TO BE DULY RECOGNIZED…….THE FASTEST GOAL SCORED AT THE FIFA WORLD CUP STANDS IN THE NAME OF TURKISH HAKAN SUKUR WHO SCORED IN 10.89 SECONDS AGAINST SOUTH KOREA AT THE 2002 WORLD CUP.
@ Bangoura, the second half is supposed to be a continuation of the first half. Therefore, the goal, no matter how fast it came in the second half is added to the first 45 minutes of the game.It can then not be considered as a fast goal. I stand to be corrected though.
faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabu
Scoring from defensive lapses and u’re happy,watch out for Mahatma,Abbey,Ofori,Owusu,Adjei,Mccarthy,Ansong,Nuri,Moro,Abanga,Nkrumah,Ganiyu,Affum,Addai,Fiamenyo,Mends,Bosu;boampong,Bro.Laryea,etc for the new season.Phooooooooobiaaaaaaaaaaa,real continental club masters(quality but not overhyped and bogus players like dat of yaanoms)!
Its very shameful to Ghana football as its only in Ghana here that u’ll see a TV commentator interviewing a club supporter when running a live commentary.Michael Katahene of Metro TV has been consistently displaying his bias nature anytime he runs commentary by way of deducing from his comments as kotoko been greatest,biggest and all sort of things so all Phobia fans should be aware dat before we start anything at all,the GFA,PLB and media espcially metro and ghanasoccernet are all against us so we should be very strong enough to avoid paying heed to whatever comments and report they make by trying to make the great Oak Club like a just mere club for us to conquer everything that comes our way,Phooooooobia,media fuo)e,mo hunuhunu enye yen hunu,still strong.Lest i forget Songo of asempa fm is also included!
Phoooooooooobiaaaaaaaaaa,yeeeeeeeeeeeko y’anim!
Against go shame!
@banguro camara,that is really good piece of information.GSN and other sites should do this kind work.Comprehensive inform.Surely the FA also have a big role to play,we need satistics and records.Once again thank you Banguro camara.
They propounded Uriah Asante’s issue ended up succeding by way of letting us loose the player but still Hearts is still Hearts cos what we’re hearing from the yaanom is yaatie abre!
CONGRATULATION FABULOUS BOIS….
