Kumasi
Asante Kotoko secured a third MTN FA Cup final berth after beating City rivals
King Faisal 2-0 at the Kumasi Babayara Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Porcupine
warriors who are chasing the double after being crowned League Champions were
able to silent their sworn City rivals with two spectacular goals from strikers
Abdul Aziz Yusif and Seidu Bancey.
Abdul Aziz
broke the dead lock in 23 minutes with a powerful header from a Prince Baffoe
excellent cross from the right hand side of attack.
The Premier
league Champions however rewarded themselves with a second goal in the 37th
minutes when burly striker Seidu Bancey capitalized on a loss ball in the 18
yard box to thunder a powerful drive past the king Faisal goalkeeper after the defends
of King Faisal failed to clear their lines.
King Faisal
however came in very strong in the second half but the Porcupine warriors
proved too strong. Asante Kotoko could have rewarded themselves with a third
goal late in the game after Seidu Bancey’s header was denied by the upright from
a wonderful cross by Eric Donkoh.
After 3
minutes of additional time, center referee Patrick Kyeremanteng blew his final whistle
to end proceedings as the Kumapem lads advance to the finals of this year’s MTN
FA Cup to face Inter Allies.
