Medeama Sporting Club goalkeeper Muntari Tagoe has described Asante Kotoko as an ordinary team ahead of their FA Cup final later this month.
The Tarkwa-based side will face the Porcupines for the second time in three years in an FA Cup final. In 2013, Medeama triumphed over the Kumasi side to win the trophy for the first time.
Perhaps, that is the reason why the goalie is so confident about his team beating their opponents come August 30. And there's also the fact that Kotoko’s recent performances have been largely inconsistent in all competitions.
“Kotoko enjoys from their past glory but now Kotoko is a normal team and we know we are going to carry the day," Tagoe said at the press soiree to announce the modalities for the grand finale.
The team that wins the game will represent the country at the CAF Confederations Cup tournament and Tagoe believes that could propel his team as one with top class material. The winner also earns GH₵60,000 to boost their preparations for the competition and failure to do will see that money transferred to the runner-up.
All this is in addition to a GH₵40,000 game prize for the victor while the runner-up bags GH₵15,000.
