Published on: 28 February 2021

The game ended 0-0 after a lot of action. Both teams go back with points shared and they have 24 points each.

Here are the ratings of the players:

Kotoko

Razak Abalora- 7

He gave away a penalty but made amends with a good save.

Yussif Mubarik- 4

He struggled throughout the game with his passing and defending.

Ismail Ganiu- 5

He took an early yellow card and struggled to form an effective partnership with Mubarik.

Imoro Ibrahim-6

He was arguably the best defender for the Porcupines.

Christopher Nettey-4

He really struggled to deal with Patrick Razak who offered a lot of problems all day.

Latif Anabila- 6

He was arguably the brightest personnel on the pitch for Kotoko.

Emmanuel Sarkodie- 4

He was largely anonymous, failing to get things going like his midfield partner did.

Fabio Gama-5

He set Kwame Opoku up for the penalty early on and was promising for most of the game.

Emmanuel Gyamfi-4

He tried to make things happen but the Hearts of Oak defenders made his work difficult.

Naby Keita-4

He got himself in good positions and tried to test Attah but did not have much success on that front.

Kwame Opoku-4

A really poor outing for the striker who is usually trusted to score. He failed to convert a penalty in the opening minutes and struggled for the rest of the game.

Mudasiru Salifu-4

He brought the needed energy and control after coming on in the second half.

Adom Frimpong-4

He helped Anabila to control the middle of the pitch after replacing Sarkodie.

Patrick Asmah- N/A

Was introduced late in the game and so could not affect the game much.

 

Hearts of Oak

Richard Attah-8

He was no doubt the man of the match. He stopped a penalty.

Raddy Ovouka-5

He had some nervy moments in the game but put up a good shift at the back.

Mohammed Alhassan- 6

The center back came out strong in a number of situations.

Nuru Sulley- 4

Sulley gifted the penalty at the early stages. Despite growing in confidence, the center back was sometimes caught out of position.

Fatawu Mohammed-5

He started the first half brightly with good forward runs. However, the full back slowly faded in the final half.

Benjamin Afutu- 6

He combined well with his midfield partners to dominate Kotoko in the first half. It was a different story in the second half but he did well overall.

Frederick Ansah Botchway- 7

He was easily the next best player in the game. The midfielder make a number of forward runs and penetrative passes which should have been converted.

Abdul Manaf Umar-6

He created opportunities against his opponents in the first half but saw a downturn in his production in the second half.

Patrick Razak-6

He was a real menace for the opposite defenders, skipping past his markers on several occasions.

However, the silky winger lacked in the final production, failing to find the net despite being at the end of attacks.

Obeng Junior- 4

A poor outing for a player who was deemed as a huge threat. His finishing was poor and did not affect the game as much as Razak.

Victor Aidoo- 5

He has experienced better days. The forward could not get much going for him in the game.

Isaac Mensah-3

He came into the game with some much needed energy but missed from the spot. After that, his confidence took a nosedive as he was unable to create problems for the opposition.

Michelle Sarpong- N/A

He did not have much time to make things happen.
