Asante Kotoko midfielder Justice Blay was adjudged man of the match after his inspiring performance helped the Porcupine Warriors silence Hearts of Oak in Accra on Sunday.

Blay scored as Kotoko won the Ghana Premier League matchday 6 fixture 2-1 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Blay overpowered his marker to head Kotoko into the lead in the 11th minute, however, the lead was cancelled by Joseph Esso in the second half.

With the game heading for a draw, referee Emmanuel Eshun awarded Kotoko a 90th minute which was converted by Naby Keita.

This is the third NASCO man of the match Blay has picked up this season. He won in games against Eleven Wonders and Ebusua Dwarfs.
