Published on: 25 April 2023

Interim coach of Asante Kotoko, Abdul Gazale has praised his team following their impressive performance against Aduana Stars.

The Porcupine Warriors stunned the Premier League leaders with a 2-1 win on Sunday in the matchday 27 games at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Isaac Mintah opened the scoring for Aduana Stars in the 26th minute, but Steven Mukwala equalized for Kotoko in the 38th minute. Ivorian attacker Eric Zeze then scored the winner in the 48th minute to secure the crucial three points for the home side.

"We started the game slowly but came into the game strongly," Gazale said in an interview with StarTimes after the game.

"I must commend Frederick Asare for some good saves that he made during the game. We conceded an early goal but we came back into the game strongly and credit to the players because they played according to instructions and did exactly what I wanted them to do on the pitch."

Kotoko now sit in 4th place on the league table with 42 points and will play Great Olympics in the matchday 28 games on Thursday at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope.
