A second half strike from Cameroonian striker Franck Mbella Etouga handed Asante Kotoko a perfect win over Great Olympics at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Great Olympics suffered a painful 1-0 home defeat to Asante Kotoko in their Ghana Premier League match-week 32 clash on Sunday afternoon.
Great Olympics commenced the fixture as dangerous side with some early incursions but the backline of Asante Kotoko prevented them from causing any havoc.
Trio Ibrahim Sulley, Samuel Abbey Quaye and Maxwell Abbey Quaye combined to dazzle the Premier League champions in the first half but none of their efforts earned them the opener.
Goalkeeper Kwame Baah made a brilliant save to deny Liberian import Varney Boakai Junior and Ibrahim Sulley getting the opener from a close range on the 24th and 29th minute respectively.
Baah made another brilliant save to fist out a well-struck free-kick delivered by Raymond Grippman on the stroke of halftime.
Asante Kotoko came close to open the score through Samuel Boateng but his strike was feeble to go past goalkeeper Seidu Ismaila.
The first half of the fixture ended in a 0-0 draw at the Accra Sports Stadium.
On the 69th minute, Franck Mbella Etouga extended his lead to twenty-one goals on the scoring chart with his stupendous strike to hand Asante Kotoko all the needed points.
Great Olympics tried their lucks in the last twenty minutes with hopes of levelling the scoring but the Porcupine Warriors remained resolute at the back to keep their 1-0 leading until the final whistle.
