Deputy skipper for Asante Kotoko SC, Emmanuel Gyamfi, has carved a breathtaking history for the Porcupine Warriors following Kotoko’s historic win over Karela United to end their home invincibility.
An electrifying performance at Crosby Awuah Memorial Park yesterday ensured Asante Kotoko served Karela United their first home defeat in the Ghana Premier League season.
Karela proud themselves with a 100 per cent record coming into the clash with six wins out of six games but suffered a 2-0 defeat thanks to goals from Imoro Ibrahim and Kwame Poku at the Crosby Awuah Memorial park in Aiyinase.
Emmanuel Gyamfi, the captain on the day, led the fray to inflict Karela their first ever defeat.
The winger has been criticised for some time now due to his demand for some winning bonuses from the Management of Asante Kotoko.
But he was instrumental in yesterday’s indelible win by providing one assist in the game.
Gamfi’s mouthwatering pass to Kwame Opoku in the second half ended the striker’s goal drought and cemented Kotoko’s lead for that unforgettable day.
The industrious winger’s name will be written in the letters of gold in the history books of Asante Kotoko for leading the ‘Reds’ to soil Karela’s home invincibility.
The inspiring deputy captain has played every match this season for Kotoko.
Yesterday’s win has pushed Kotoko to the top of the league log for the first time this season while Karela, who were leaders before kickoff, drop to third.
