Emmanuel Antwi, the new signing for Asante Kotoko, is ecstatic after helping his team clinch the Democracy Cup at the Accra Sports Stadium. The midfielder played a key role in the 2-1 victory that saw the Porcupine Warriors lift the inaugural title, which was held to commemorate 30 years of parliamentary democracy in Ghana.
The game started with the visitors taking the lead after 30 minutes, thanks to a goal from Justice Blay from the penalty spot. Despite going into halftime with the advantage, Hearts of Oak managed to equalize after the break with a header from their new signing Asamoah Boateng Afriyie.
However, Asante Kotoko didn’t let the score stay level for long as Peter Amidu capitalized on a defensive error by Hearts of Oak to secure a 2-1 victory for his team. Antwi took to his social media account to express his gratitude for the love and support from the fans following the win.
The triumph in the Democracy Cup has earned Asante Kotoko a ticket to the United States, where they will face Major League Soccer side DC United at a date to be announced by the organizers. This exciting opportunity will provide the Kumasi-based team with a chance to showcase their skills on an international stage and continue their winning streak.
