Kotoko

Kumasi Asante Kotoko have been crowned champions of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League title.

The Porcupine Warriors won the trophy in grand style on Sunday after smashing past already relegated Elimina Sharks 3-0 at the Baba Yara Sports stadium on Sunday in front of their vociferous fans.

 

It was the first time in eight years that the Porcupines have won the league title following their previous league trophy in the 2013/14 season.

Kotoko were already confirmed winners of the GPL Title last week in their draw with regional opponents AshantiGold as they dethrone bitter rivals Hearts of Oak who won the trophy last season.

Kotoko have now claimed a record-extending 25th Ghana Premier League title.

Ibrahim Moro gave them the lead in the 24 minute as he pummeled home a majestic free kick to send the stadium alive. Georges Mfegue wrapped up the win with a second half brace in the 80th and 88th minutes of the game.

Kotoko will be Ghana’s representative in the 2022-23 TotalEnergies CAF Champions League campaign.
