Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito has hailed the progress of Morifing Donzo, praising the Guinean striker’s resilience and growing confidence after his brace in the 6–0 demolition of Bechem United in Week 16 of the Ghana Premier League.

Donzo’s Breakthrough


  • The 27-year-old forward had struggled to find his scoring touch earlier in the season.

  • His two goals against Bechem United capped a commanding team performance at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Zito emphasized Donzo’s perseverance:

“I am very happy for him. I didn’t give up on him because I saw his struggles. Adaptation is not an easy thing at all when you travel outside your country… gradually, I think he is getting himself back.”

Kotoko’s Form


  • After a 1–0 setback to Hohoe United in Week 13, Kotoko bounced back with:

    • 1–0 win vs Dreams FC

    • 2–0 win vs Eleven Wonders

    • 6–0 win vs Bechem United

  • The Porcupine Warriors now sit top of the table with 30 points, level with Medeama SC but ahead on goal difference (+14 vs +11).

  • They face All Blacks in their final first-half fixture, aiming to consolidate their lead.

 Significance


  • Donzo’s resurgence adds firepower to Kotoko’s frontline, complementing their recent winning streak.

  • Zito’s faith in his striker highlights the importance of patience and adaptation for foreign imports in the Ghana Premier League.

  • With Kotoko back at the summit, Donzo’s rise could prove pivotal in sustaining their title challenge.

Donzo’s story is shaping into one of resilience and redemption, with his goals now symbolizing Kotoko’s momentum at a crucial stage of the season.
