Bofoakwa Tano coach John Eduafo believes Nsoatreman FC deserved the Ghana FA Cup title after Maxwell Konadu’s outfit came from behind to snatch victory in the final on Sunday evening.
Nsoatreman FC came from behind to beat Bofoakwa Tano in the final played at the University of Ghana Stadium.
Bofoakwa Tano took an early lead in the 22nd minute through a well-placed goal by Richard Dzikoe but Nsoatreman FC showed resilience to pull parity eleven minutes later through Sadat Mohammed.
Despite both teams creating numerous opportunities, neither could find the back of the net during the additional 30 minutes, leading to a tense penalty shootout.
Nsoatreman SC held their nerve and emerged victorious with a 5-4 scoreline, sparking jubilant celebrations among their players and supporters.
“Both teams had a very competitive game. We took the lead and they came back to equalize at the tail end. Penalties can go either ways. We missed the chance and they took their chance and won. They are equally a better side and deserve to win” he said.
The triumph not only marks Nsoatreman's first major trophy but also earns them the honour of representing Ghana in the prestigious continental competition.
Having failed to maintain their status, Bofoakwa Tano are expected to feature in the Division One League next season.
