Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Asante Kotoko coach Prosper Narteh Ogum expressed his delight after securing a double victory over Hearts of Oak this season emphasising the significance of this achievement for his players<\/b><\/p>\n

The team secured a 2-0 win on Sunday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi having already won the reverse fixture 3-2 during the first round of the 2023\/24 Ghana Premier League season.<\/p>\n

The Porcupine Warriors demonstrated their strength and tactical superiority, with top scorer Steven Mukwala playing a pivotal role. The Ugandan international netted a brace with two impressive finishes, helping Kotoko to triumph over their rivals.<\/p>\n

Speaking after the game, Ogum expressed his delight with his team\u2019s dominance over their long-term rivals this season, indicating it as one to be remembered in the history of the Super Clash.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery happy, beating hearts of oak back to back is not an easy job l. So I am happy. I think it\u2019s an honour for this group of players. It\u2019s been a while since this thing happened. We are all happy. You could see when the final whistle was blown. Steve [Mukwala] made it so beautiful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Kotoko now lie in ninth place on the league log. Five points off the top four with three matches left to the end of the season, and although attaining that finish looks unlikely, their fans will be pleased to have bragging rights over their fiercest rivals.<\/p>\n

Hearts of Oak however find themselves in 15th place. Only two points clear of the relegation zone, and will be aiming to stay in Ghana\u2019s top-flight league to make a strong case for themselves next season.<\/p>\n
