Kotoko were in control from the opening minutes and showed clear intent with their sharp passing, quick movement and deadly finishing. Morrison Donzo broke the deadlock in the ninth minute, setting the pace for what turned into a one-sided contest. Samba O’Neil doubled the lead before halftime as Bechem struggled to contain Kotoko’s attacking threat.
The hosts picked up where they left off after the break. Hubert Gyau struck soon after the restart to make it three, and Johnson Owusu added a fourth on the hour mark as the pressure continued to mount on the visitors. Kotoko showed no mercy, piling on more goals late in the game to complete a dominant performance and a memorable afternoon for their supporters.
