2025 President Cup: Karim Zito elated by the victory and indicates they were fully focused on the win
Asante Kotoko head coach Abdul Karim Zito asserts that his side had only set sights on nothing but to win the 2025 President’s Cup.
The Porcupine Warriors came from a goal behind, making a glorious comeback to clinch the title with a 2-1 win against arch-rivals, Hearts of Oak on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Hamza Issah put the Phobian Club ahead in the first half, but two quick goals from Peter Acquah Amidu and Kwame Opoku within the space of two minutes in the second half, was enough for Asante Kotoko as the game ended 2-1 in favour of the Porcupine Warriors.
In a post-match interview, Zito expressed absolute excitement following the triumph and added that they fully focused on nothing but lifting the President’s Cup for a record ninth time.
“The plan is to come to win. I saw that we should go for the second cup, we wanted the league, but we couldn’t, and this is my second winning,” he said.
“Our second half was far better than the second half. We’re all happy, the supporters are also happy. I introduced a few players, we’re showing in South Africa next and will focus on our Africa campaign next. “
“I’m happy with the win. Our main focus is to win, we’re prepared to win, and by God’s grace, they won,” he added.
Asante Kotoko will now regroup in the coming week as they head to South Africa to face Kaizer Chiefs in the Toyota Cup later this month.
