The highlight of the evening came in the 73rd minute when Opoku, making his first appearance since rejoining the club for a second spell, slotted home the second goal to seal the win.
His goal not only delighted the home crowd but also underlined his importance to the team as they chase league glory.

The win extends Kotoko’s strong record at the Baba Yara Stadium and keeps them firmly in contention for the league title.
