Right To Dream win Sweden's prestigious Gothia Cup in

Right to Dream Academy have won the U17 version of the 2014 Gothia Cup by defeating Swedish side Mjällby 7-6 on penalties on Saturday in Gothenburg.

Both sides settled for a 0-0 draw in regulation time and the winner had to be decided via penalty shootout.


Gareth Henderby’s side converted all five spot-kicks and then needed a seventh one to win after their goalkeeper saved Mjällby’s kick.

The Old Akrade based side becomes the second Ghanaian side to win the Gothia Cup after Asante Kotoko’s triumph in 1997.
