Kumasi King Faisal FC kicked out noisy neighbors Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC from the 2021-22 MTN FA CUP Competition on Wednesday after at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Green and Whites Boys got the better of the Red and Whites once again this season as they eliminated them from the MTN FA Cup Competition with a hard earned narrow 1-0 victory at home to advance to the next round.
Inside the 26minute mark of the match, Baba Yahaya took full advantage of a mistake by center-back Andrews Appau to put the hosts 1-0 up with a fine strike.
Imoro Ibrahim wasted a good opportunity when Kotoko were awarded a free-kick in a dangerous place as he hit the human wall.
Three minutes later, George Mfegue was presented with a great opportunity to score but the Cameroonian’s shot was too feeble to beat Frank Boateng in goal.
Inside 62 minutes, Stephen Amankona was presented with a golden opportunity to restore parity for Kotoko but his finish misses the post by inch.
On the 82nd minute mark, Goalie Boateng produced a masterclass double save to deny the Porcupine Warriors the equalizer with eight minutes to go.
King Faisal won the game 1-0 to kick out Asante Kotoko from the competition.
