Ghana top flight giants Asante Kotoko have recorded their first win of the new league season. Asante Kotoko had to wait for the matchday five clash with Legon Cities to secure their maiden three points of the new Ghana Premier League season. The game played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday night saw Asante Kotoko beat Legon Cities 1-0 at home. The Porcupine Warriors got the victory courtesy the strike from Osman Ibrahim on eleven minutes. Legon Cities subbed on Ghana football legend Asamoah Gyan in the second half of the game,but the former Sunderland hitman was unable to orchestrate the equaliser that would have given his team a point at least.
The win was able to catapult Maxwell Konadu's men to fourth spot on the Ghana Premier League table with five points from their three games. They are three points off league leaders Karela at the top of the table though they have played one game less than the summit recipients. For Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan and Legon Cities, the slim loss means that they are still waiting for their first win of the season in the Ghana Premier League this term after five games.
Paul Pogba could be an Asante Kotoko S.C. player if the club's Chairman dream of signing him for the club comes to reality.
It is reported in the media that Manchester United is willing to sell Paul Pogba following his years of inconsistency for the club since his arrival from Juventus in the then world-record fee of £89m. Paul Pogba, who has received heavy criticism, especially from Man United legends, played poorly against Arsenal last weekend in the English premier league and caused the penalty that contributed to Man United defeat against Arsenal, thus, giving Arsenal their first win in Old Trafford in 14 years.
