In the Premier League match between Asante Kotoko and Kotoku Royals FC held on 29th January 2023, Asante Kotoko demonstrated an overwhelming performance which led to a resounding 5-1 victory.
The goal scoring started early for Asante Kotoko, which undoubtedly boosted their confidence as the first goal was netted of just 10 minutes 20 seconds into the first half. Their dominant offensive play was quickly supplemented by a second goal at 22 minutes 4 seconds, forcing Kotoku Royals FC to push themselves. Kotoku's only goal in response came at 28 minutes 41 seconds, but despite their efforts, it was not enough to destabilize Asante Kotoko's solid ground.
Asante Kotoko showed their determination to maintain their lead in the second half by scoring three more goals at 60 minutes 42 seconds, 80 minutes 57 seconds, and 94 minutes 5 seconds. This high goal count can be attributed to their active forward line and efficient use of corner kicks, of which they had 5 in comparison to Kotoku's 2. The figures reflect Asante Kotoko's significance in ball possession, and their firm grip on the game.
Of note, Kotoku Royals FC had a high number of yellow cards - 4 in total compared to Asante Kotoko's 2. Two of these were issued close together at the end of the second half within a 15-second interval, implying that their discipline and composure dwindled as the game progressed. Asante Kotoko also received their second yellow card towards the end of the match, but this didn't markedly impact their performance.
In terms of offsides, there were no significant figures effecting the play as Asante Kotoko only had two while Kotoku only had one, indicating a relatively disciplined play from both sides.
In summary, Asante Kotoko's domination in terms of goals scored, superior ball possession, and effective use of corner kick opportunities were the major contributing factors to their victory. On the other hand, Kotoku Royals FC's performance was marred by lack of discipline leading to numerous yellow cards, and their inability to effectively convert their corner kicks into goals.
