Albert Amoah marked his return to Asante Kotoko in unforgettable fashion
Albert Amoah marked his return to Asante Kotoko in unforgettable fashion, scoring a stunning overhead kick and providing an assist in a dominant 3-0 victory over Basake Holy Stars in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.
Introduced from the bench at the Baba Yara Stadium, the 24-year-old forward instantly lifted the Porcupine Warriors, producing a moment of brilliance to put the result beyond doubt.
Amoah rifled home a spectacular overhead kick to make it 2-0, sending the home fans into raptures and underlining his enduring quality in Kotoko colours.
The striker was not done yet. He later turned provider, laying on the assist for Kwame Poku, who capped the performance with his own eye-catching overhead kick screamer to seal an emphatic win for the Kumasi giants.
The match marked Amoah’s first appearance since rejoining Kotoko on loan from Libyan side Al Ahly Benghazi for the remainder of the Ghana Premier League season. Limited playing time in Libya prompted the forward’s swift return to familiar surroundings, and his impact on debut could hardly have been more convincing.
Amoah’s performance was a reminder of his proven pedigree at the club. After joining Kotoko from Great Olympics in 2024, he enjoyed a prolific spell, finishing the 2024-25 season as the club’s top scorer with 15 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions.
