Great Olympics’ 2-0 victory against Kotoku Royals at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope on Sunday confirmed the latter’s relegation from the betPawa Premier League.
Isaac Mensah and Michael Osei scored in the 44th and 55th minutes, respectively, to dash Kotoku Royals’ hopes of survival.
The team, which is 15 points away from safety on the table, needed a win to boost their chances of staying in the top flight. Even if they win their remaining four matches, they will still finish at the bottom of the table.
The relegation of Kotoku Royals is a huge disappointment for football fans in the Eastern region who had hoped to see more of their local clubs in the top flight after the team’s promotion last season.
Going forward, Kotoku Royals will have to focus on rebuilding and preparing for the next season in the second-tier league.
