Ghanaian Champions Asante Kotoko demolish helpless King Faisal in the Kumasi derby

Asante Kotoko on Monday night at the Baba Yara Stadium defeated struggling King Faisal 3-0 in the Kumasi derby.

Faisal hosted the Porcupines in a matchday four encounter of the ongoing 2022/23 betPawa Premier League season.

Just eleven minutes into the game, the visitors took the lead through a strike from Ugandan international Steven Mukwala for his debut league goal.

Despite the efforts from King Faisal players to get back into the game, the side failed to find the back of the Porcupines net with Richard Boadu netting Kotoko’s second from the spot in the 28th-minute after Mukwala was brought down by the Faisal keeper to end the first half two goals up.

Kotoko’s dominance was confirmed early in the second half, as Mukwala again teed up Nicholas Mensah to score the third to put the contest out of reach.

The win sends the defending champions to the fourth position with 7 points from four games while King Faisal sit on the 18th position with no point.
