Nzema Kotoko beats Unistar Academy 2-1 to reach final of Tier II Special Competition

Nzema Kotoko qualified to the final of the Tier II Special Competition after a 2-1 win over Unistar Academy on Wednesday at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium in the semi-final.

The Division One League side will now face AshantiGold, who beat Asante Kotoko 3-1 in Accra, in the final.

Nzema Kotoko went down before the half-hour mark when Ali Muftawu put Unistar Academy on the board in the 26th minute.

But the celebrations were short-lived as Francis Atitsogbo drew them level three minutes later.

Then Nzema Kotoko were awarded a penalty just before the half-time whistle and it was converted by Agyenim Boateng.

If they beat AshantiGold in the final, Nzema Kotoko will represent Ghana in next season's CAF Confederation Cup.
