In a friendly match held at Adako Jachie training park on Thursday, Asante Kotoko made lightwork of lower-tier side Sporting Time with a resounding 4-1 win.

The friendly fixture served as crucial preparation for Coach Abdul Gazale's side ahead of their upcoming league clash against Karela United FC in week 32 of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.

The highly anticipated match is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 29, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

From the opening whistle, Asante Kotoko displayed their attacking prowess and took immediate control of the game. Led by captain Richard Boadu, the team's formidable attacking unit consisting of Enoch Morrison, Clinton Opoku, and Sarfo Taylor all made their mark on the scoresheet, highlighting their dominance throughout the match. The collective effort of the players resulted in a convincing victory for the Porcupine Warriors.

While Sporting Time managed to find the back of the net with a consolation goal from a penalty in the dying stages of the game, it posed no significant challenge to Asante Kotoko's commanding performance.

With a solid 3-1 triumph over Kotoku Royals earlier in the week, Asante Kotoko has reclaimed the fourth position in the league standings, accumulating a total of 47 points from 31 games.

These back-to-back victories will undoubtedly instill a sense of confidence and momentum within the team as they gear up to face Karela United in their upcoming crucial match.
