Akesse Akesse made the headlines on Sunday as he scored six goals for Nzema Kotoko in a 6-2 thumping of Star Madrid on match day 13 of the National Division One League.
The attacker scored in the 15th, 32nd, 35th, 41st, 60th and 64th minutes of the game to set a record in the League as the first player to score 6 goals (double hat-trick) in this seasons National Division One League. His 2nd and 3rd goals came from the spot but generally, Akesse has become the toast of fans in the Nzema enclave after his heroics.
Star Madrid reduced the deficit four minutes after conceding the first goal as Hassan Mohammed sent in a sumptuous volley to cancel Akesse’s first goal.
The visitors started growing in confidence but their resilience was dealt a blow after they conceded two penalties in succession and went into the break trailing 4-1.
