Kotoko attacker Obed Owusu says they had no option than to win their game against Accra Great Olympics in their match day-18 encounter at the Accra Stadium Sports stadium on Wednesday.

It was a huge sigh of relief for the Porcupine Warriors as they recorded their first win in the second half of the season.

 After suffering back to back defeats to Heart of Lions and New Edubiase, Dauda Mohammed opened scoring for the Reds in the 22nd minute before Olympics levelled four minutes to half time.

Ahmed Toure missed a penalty getting to the end of the first half but quickly redeemed himself with a goal to end the first half 2-1.

 Olympics pulled level in the 58th minute through Daniel Appiah before Toure scored his second to make it 3-2 in favour of Kotoko.

“We were under pressure to win the game after losing our first two matches, so we had no other business than to win this game,” said Obed Owusu at the post match conference

“The league is still ongoing and it is all not lost so i believe we can turn things round and record good results going forward so we can defend our title.

“We need to continue working hard to change the current situation we find ourselves.”

Kotoko, who before the game flirting with relegation, have now moved into the 7th position while Olympics are 15th on the log.

Kotoko’s next game is against Liberty Professionals at the Carl Reindolf Park this Sunday.
