GPLonHappyFM: Great Olympics, Kotoko share spoils in Accra

Great Olympics and Asante Kotoko faced off in a highly competitive and tactical game which ended goalless at the Accra Sports Stadium in this matchday 20 fixture.

Asante Kotoko was hoping to revenge that painful defeat in the first leg against Coach Annor Walker’s side.

Great Olympics dominated possession in the first half with some decent moves from Samuel Ashie-Quaye and captain Gladson Awako.

Asante Kotoko were playing deep in their own half and relied on the counter attack.

The two teams failed to create any clear-cut chances in the first half and went into the break with spoils shared.

Godfred Asiamah’s first touch nearly resulted in a goal for the Porcupine Warriors but the Great Olympics goalkeeper was up to the task to deny him.

Kotoko’s Brazilian forward Michael Vinicius was introduced in the game in the 65th minute to replace Emmanuel Gyamfi, who had a quiet game.

The game began to open up from the 68th minute as the two sides pushed to score for the first goal of the game.

Great Olympics midfielder Michel Otuo saw his strike saved by Razak Abalorah following a beautiful worked ball.

Asiamah came close to breaking the deadlock in the 79th minute but his effort was pushed over for a corner kick

Michael Vinicius failed to direct his header from a Patrick Asmah cross as Olympics were left off the hook.

Great Olympics have managed to pick four points from a possible six from Asante Kotoko in the two meetings between the two sides in the ongoing campaign.
