Asante Kotoko Edge Past Eleven Wise to Reach FA Cup Quarterfinals

Asante Kotoko secured their place in the quarterfinals of the 2024/25 MTN FA Cup with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Sekondi Eleven Wise at the Baba Yara Stadium. Despite their dominance in possession, the Porcupine Warriors found it difficult to break down the lower-tier side’s defense in the first half. The closest they came to scoring before halftime was when Saaka Dauda connected with a precise cross from Michael Sefah, only for his header to miss the target. Kotoko’s relentless pressure eventually paid off when Kyei Baffour capitalized on a low cross from Patrick Asiedu, calmly slotting the ball into the net to give his side the lead.

The second half saw Kotoko continue to dictate the pace of the game, creating several opportunities to extend their advantage. However, their finishing let them down, allowing Eleven Wise to stay in the contest. Despite some promising moments from the visitors, they were unable to find an equalizer, as Kotoko’s defense remained resolute. The match followed a familiar pattern of Kotoko pressing forward while Eleven Wise focused on defending and searching for counterattacking opportunities. In the end, the lone goal proved enough for Prosper Narteh Ogum’s men to secure the win and advance to the next stage of the competition.

With this victory, Kotoko now set their sights on the quarterfinals, where they will face Division One club True Democracy. The Porcupine Warriors will be hoping to build on their momentum and continue their pursuit of FA Cup glory. Meanwhile, Eleven Wise can take pride in their performance, having given the Ghanaian giants a tough challenge. As the competition heats up, Kotoko’s experience and quality could prove crucial in their quest for silverware. Fans will now eagerly anticipate their next fixture, as they aim to take another step toward lifting the FA Cup trophy.
