GPL Week 12 Match Report: Cameroon’s Mbella Nets Hat-Trick As Kotoko Beat Ashgold [video]

Cameroonian forward Franck Mbella scored a second-half hat-trick to inspire Asante Kotoko to a dominant victory over regional rivals AshantiGold in the Ghana Premier League.

After a goalless first 45 minutes, Mbella gave Kotoko the lead with a penalty before netting twice in the space of six minutes to put the game to bed.

Midfielder Elijah Addai scored a consolation for the Miners in the 85th minute.

Kotoko thanks to the win are three points clear at the top of the league, while Ashgold are closer to the relegation zone as they sit 15th.

Third-placed Aduana Stars secured a narrow 1-0 victory at Elmina Sharks to return to winning ways.

Bechem United beat Real Tamale United 2-0, Legon Cities shocked Dreams 1-0 in Dawu, and Great Olympics shared the spoils 1-1 with Karela United.

On Saturday, a solitary strike by James Sewornu ensured Hearts of Oak beat Bibiani Gold Stars to stay unbeaten in the league since November 2021.

Accra Lions and WAFA played out a goalless draw with the Academy Boys second from bottom, and Medeama were held 1-1 at home by Berekum Chelsea.
