On a rainy afternoon at the Ofori Stadium, Ashantigold endured two differing tales. There was the arrival of new Burkinabe goalkeeper, Bailou Mohamed which usurped the slim margin lost to Deportivo.
In Roberto Landi's second friendly game, the Italian gaffer gave minutes to all 33 players at his disposal. According to word in the crowd, this was the gaffer's chance to trim down his large squad size.
He once again alternated not only personnel but tactics as well in a game played in three sets. Each set lasted for 30 minutes.
The way side led by Isaac Owusu 'Ninja' capitalized on an early defensive error to grab an early goal. Asokwa Deportivo then sat back with the home side pushing for a non-existent equalizer. They then resorted to long balls and counter attacking play which Ashantigold dealt with superbly.
Deportivo is a 2nd tier side in the Ghana Leagues based in Kumasi.
Ashantigold paraded three set of players with each set giving their all.
The full list of players used by Ashantigold reads;
Felix Klottey (gk), Kwadwo Amoako, Ibrahim Samed, Osei Agyemang, Amouzou Roland, Eric Esso, Razak Simpson, Emmanuel Owusu, Appiah MacCarthy, Yaw Arnol, Mark Agyekum, Robert Dabuo(gk), Frank Akoto, Kwame Moses, Michael Enu, Muntari, David Abagna, Isaac Quansah, Amos Nkrumah, Amos Addae, Dacosta Boadu, Ben Eshun, Darfour(gk), Atta Kusi, Dacosta Empem, Evans Obeng, Ziggy Julius, Agama, Isaac Opoku, Hans Kwofie.
