Kotoko defeated Bechem United

Asante Kotoko 3-0 Bechem United
Giants Asante Kotoko got their G6 tournament to a
flying start after hammering Bechem United 3-0 at
the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Monday
evening.

Man-of-the-Match award winner Emmanuel Gyamfi
raced Michael Osei's men into a first-half lead
before Obed Owusu clinched the second goal midway
through the second-half.

Skipper Amos Frimpong enhanced his scoring
credibility after converting from the spot in the
78th minute.

Kotoko went into the game a day after the
announcement of the new Executive Chairman Kwame
Kyei.

And, the holders were in their off-season elements
as they punched above their weights to defeat a
side that frustrated them last season.

The Hunters assembled MTN FA Cup Best Player Award
winner Yaw Annorl and striker Abednego Tetteh.

Controversial Ivorian-born Burkina Faso
international Ahmed Toure returned to the Baba
Yara to face his former side.

Kotoko reportedly expressed anger over Toure's
announcement by Bechem.

But Manuel Zaccharius' game tactics failed to
prevail as his Kotoko counterpart expressed his
superiority with awesome tactical variation.

Gyamfi, voted the best player of the game, stole
the show with his pace and visionary display
blended with fine artistry.

His opener was pure masterclass as he meandered
his way through a forest of obstacles to finish
home.

The highlight of the clash for Kotoko was the show
of striker Dauda Mohammed and Ivorian defender
Alex Koussi who was being watched keenly.

Kotoko coach Michael Osei also used the game to
assess the form of youngsters who he plans to
introduce next season.

The Porcupine Warriors head the Northern Sector
group with the comprehensive win.
