Nsoatreman Football Club came out victorious in the MTN FA Cup grand finale after beating Bofoakwa Tano 5-4 on penalty shootouts. The victory on Sunday, June 23rd was the first in the Nsoatre based club’s history .
The game which took place at the University of Ghana Stadium, Legon saw Bofoakwa Tano taking a lead in the 22nd minute through the boots of Richard Dzikoe. Nsoatreman after going down piled intense pressure on their opponents in search of an equalizer in the first half which proved futile.
The second half witnessed a massive dominance from Maxwell Konadu’s side which eventually gifted them an equalizer in the 79th minute. Sadat Mohammed’s equalizer took the game to the extra time which produced no game-winning goal and hence penalty shootouts.
Nsoatreman went on as the lucky side beating Bofoakwa Tano 5-4 with the winning penalty neatly converted by 16-year-old Foster Apertogbor. This victory will also give Nsoatreman Football Club the ticket to represent Ghana in the CAF Confederations Cup next season.
