Forward Kwame Opoku was the hero of the day, netting both goals for the Porcupine Warriors. His decisive brace ensured Kotoko ended the season on a high after missing out on the Ghana Premier League title.
Kotoko started strongly and opened the scoring in the 16th minute with a powerful header from Opoku. But Golden Kick fought back, equalising in the 31st minute through a stunning free-kick by Bless Ege. The teams went into halftime level at 1-1.
Both sides pushed for a winner in the second half, but the game appeared to be heading into extra time. However, dramatically, Kotoko earned a penalty in stoppage time after Golden Kick goalkeeper Kelvin Kofi Saaba fouled Opoku in the box.
Opoku calmly converted from the spot, sealing a hard-fought 2-1 victory for Kotoko and writing his name into club folklore.
With the win, Asante Kotoko not only claim their 10th FA Cup trophy but also secure a spot in the 2025/26 CAF Confederation Cup, where they will represent Ghana on the continental stage.
