Kumasi, May 12, GNA - Fabulous Kumasi Asante Kotoko played a good game to thrash Accra Great Olympics 5-1 to end this year's Glo Premier League match in their match at the Baba Yara stadium in Kumasi on Wednesday. Outside Edward Affum opened the scores for Kotoko in the 11th minute when he connected home a short pass from enterprising Haruna Ganiyu. With the heat on the visitors, Kwadwo Poku hit the post with a powerful shot in the 43rd minute before Affum scored his second goal in the 44th minute to end the half.
