Isaac Oppong began his maiden season at Asante Kotoko on the bench against Dreams FC last Saturday but he was the one that had the biggest impact in the Kotoko comeback.
How was not awarded the official Man of the Match award?
Yes Richmond Lamptey’s performance was fine and his strike (assisted by Oppong) was beautiful but Oppong – who saw just 16 minutes in the game – scored the goal that put Kotoko ahead. This was a crucial moment.
Even before that he had set up the Salifu Mudasiru equalizer meaning he was directly involved in the three goals of his team and this is too huge an impact to ignore.
When Mario Gotze came off the bench in the 88th minute of the 2014 World Cup final to score the winning goal for Germany in the 113th minute against Argentina, he was given the Man of the Match award and everyone agreed.
