Ghana Premier League champions Asante Kotoko defeated lower-tier side Techiman Liberty 5-1 in a friendly game at the Adako Jachie training pitch on Wednesday morning.

The reds have resorted to the friendly game to keep their match sharpness with the league on break due to a legal tussle between the Ghana Football Association and Ashgold SC.

Asante Kotoko dominated the match for the majority of the 90 minutes as the coach handed opportunities to a lot of players who have not played much.

Kotoko won the game with a goal each from Steven Dese Mukwala, Isaac Oppong, Rockson Dwamena, Serge Zeze and Patrick Asmah while the lower-tier side pulled a goal back.

It remains unclear when the betPawa Premier League will resume as the GFA will battle in court with Ashgold on 14th October 2022.
