The Cameroonian forward, Franck Etouga completed a hattrick as he shrugged off a challenge to give Asante Kotoko a massive three points at home over AshantiGold in a Regional Derby.
Asante Kotoko were held in a goaless draw with AshantiGold in the first half.
The Porcupines stepped forward with the first goal at the 55th minute by the Cameroonian International after Mfegue connected a through pass with a low shot, and the ball was heading into the posts when a defender dived to intercept it with his hand and gave the referee an easy penalty decision to make. Etuoga stood up to it and sent the keeper the wrong way.
Etouga doubled the scoreline at the 67th minute to give the home side a comfortable lead.
Etouga named MOTM after the game.
The Reds were better side in both departments of the game.
The Miners are struggling to make amends. They are yet to pick victory after five GPL games.
Etouga cemented the lead with the 3rd goal at the 72nd minute after connecting from a low cross until Elijah’s Addai’s consolation goal at the 85th minute to make it 3-1.
The Asanteman Derby has come to an end as Asante Kotoko extends the lead on the table with 26poits since King Faisal lost to 2-0 to Eleven Wonders in Techiman.
