GPL match report: Amidu, Somuah inspire Kotoko to a comfortable win over RTU in Nalerigu

Asante Kotoko put two past Real Tamale United (RTU) on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at the Naa Sheriga Sports Complex in a Week 33 clash of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League.

The victory marked a strong comeback for Kotoko, who suffered a 1-0 loss to Accra Great Olympics in the previous week.

Despite a goalless first half, Kotoko's Peter Amidu Acquah broke the deadlock in the 58th minute. Bernard Somuah doubled the lead in the 86th minute, securing the win. Key substitutions included Michael Kyei Dwamena, Bernard Somuah, and Sherif Mohammed, who brought fresh energy into the game.

Real Tamale United, positioned 18th with 31 points before the match, struggled to find their rhythm. In contrast, Kotoko, now with 46 points, moved up from 10th place.

Real Tamale United will face Dreams FC in an outstanding game before their season finale against Accra Great Olympics, while Asante Kotoko will host Bofoakwa Tano in their next match at the Baba Yara Stadium.
