Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito
Asante Kotoko head coach Karim Zito has praised his team’s tactical execution in their 1-0 MTN FA Cup semifinal win over Berekum Chelsea.
The hard-fought victory, secured by Albert Amoah’s 82nd-minute strike, confirmed Kotoko’s place in the final and kept their hopes alive for a 10th FA Cup title.
Reflecting on the game, Zito emphasized that his approach was carefully crafted to avoid the unpredictability of a penalty shootout.
“With the FA Cup, you don’t have two options. So our plan was to win before 90 minutes, but if it goes, I don’t want to go to penalties,” he said.
“So seriously, I was very cautious at the back and tried to score occasionally.”
“So that was my plan, and I succeeded in executing it.”
Kotoko will now turn their attention to the final, where they will face Division One side Golden Kick on June 15 at the University of Ghana Stadium.
With a historic 10th FA Cup title within reach, Zito and his team will be determined to finish the job.
