Asante Kotoko have won the 2019 President cup at the expense of archrivals Hearts of Oak following a 2-1 victory at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
The President’s Cup, which has returned after a one-year absence, is in honour of Ghana’s sitting president Nana Akufo-Addo.
Sunday’s fixture was a replay of an original match which was called off under 10 minutes due to a heavy downpour in September.
Hearts broke the deadlock through a 35th-minute penalty by Kordzi who made no mistake from 12 yards after Ampem Dacosta was adjudged to have handled the ball in the box.
On the stroke of half-time, Kotoko levelled the score as Alhassan, unfortunately, directed a ball into his own net following a Patrick Yeboah cross.
On 65 minutes, Yeboah once again showed up with another cross, which was this time headed into the net by Guinean striker Keita.
Hearts finished the game with 10 men as goalkeeper Ernest Sowah was sent off in.
It is the sixth President Cup triumph for Kotoko, two titles more than Hearts.
