Kotoko Crowned MTN FA Cup Champions in Last-Minute Thriller
Kumasi Asante Kotoko are the champions of the 2025 MTN FA Cup after defeating lower-tier side Golden Kick SC in a heart-pounding final that ended 2–1 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The game, which was a rollercoaster of emotion, saw underdogs Golden Kick take an early lead in the 24th minute. Kotoko, rattled but determined, responded with sustained pressure, finally equalizing through striker Isaac Oppong in the 67th minute.
As the clock ticked into stoppage time and penalties loomed, Kotoko’s talisman Kwame Opoku was brought down in the box, earning a last-minute penalty. He confidently converted, sealing the win and sending thousands of Kotoko fans into jubilation.
This is Kotoko’s 11th FA Cup trophy, further cementing their status as Ghana’s most decorated football club. “We fought for this. The boys showed heart, and we dedicate this win to our fans,” said Coach Prosper Ogum.
With this win, Kotoko qualify for the 2025 CAF Confederation Cup and will begin preparations for their continental campaign later this year.
