Match

Nobody wants to play Asante Kotoko right now

27 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Match

The run at home goes on for Asante Kotoko

24 matches unbeaten here. Every visiting manager is asked about it in the week before, which is precisely why it keeps going.

Match

Asante Kotoko keep winning on the road

11 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.

Match

Joshua Tenkorang sends Asante Kotoko through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Joshua Tenkorang obliged against Great Olympics. 3‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Asante Kotoko.

Player ratings

Henry Addo scores twice — 8.79

Two goals and a mark of 8.79 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Gilbani Samba agrees terms with Inter Allies

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Asante Kotoko people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Player ratings

A brace, and Joshua Tenkorang takes the afternoon — 8.40

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Joshua Tenkorang provided it, and the 8.40 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Market

Kelvin Ofori asks to leave Asante Kotoko

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Suleiman Camara honoured for the season

The kind of year that ends with a name being read out in a hall. Asante Kotoko had the benefit of it every week and now have the problem of everybody else knowing.

The Asante Kotoko Post

From our football correspondent Triumph

Match

Nobody wants to play Asante Kotoko right now

12 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Match

Asante Kotoko tear Inter Allies apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Inter Allies, and it could have been more.

Player ratings

Both of them Mawuli Mensah's — 8.35

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.35, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Ali Loune hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Asante Kotoko can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Haqi Osman is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Asante Kotoko is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Match

Asante Kotoko are at home on the road

5 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Squad

Kamil Conteh in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Asante Kotoko this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

No hiding place for Obi Chima

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Obi Chima, and the manager let it.

Squad

A row about effort at Asante Kotoko

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Caleb Zady Sery was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
