In a midweek friendly clash, Kumasi Asante Kotoko demonstrated their supremacy with a decisive 4-0 win over lower-tier team Namoro Academy.
The Ghanaian powerhouse exhibited an impressive performance led by stellar contributions from Kalo Ouattarra, Richmond Lamptey, and Benard Somuah. Ouattarra, in particular, stole the show with a clinical brace.
This preparatory fixture at the Paa Joe Stadium facility served as vital groundwork ahead of their impending league face-off against Accra Lions. Notably, Justice Blay, who has successfully recuperated from an injury spell, marked his return with a valuable stint on the pitch against the lower-tier side.
In their last Ghana Premier League game against Karela United at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday night, Asante Kotoko scored late to claim a 1-1 draw.
In their three league games played this season, the Porcupine Warriors laboured to a goalless draw against returnees Heart of Lions on home ground before losing 2-1 to Bibiani Gold Stars in their second game.
