MEDEAMA SC recorded a 4-0 statement win over Asante Kotoko in their Match day 29 clash of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) played on Sunday at the TnA Stadium.
With Gold Stars losing 2-1 to Aduana on Saturday, Medeama reclaimed the top spot after the Kotoko annihilation and hope to establish a grip with five matches to end the season.
For Asante Kotoko, it marked a seeming end to their title aspiration as they languish in sixth position, trailing the leaders by 10 points.
Mathematically, there may be a way out to the top but the current form of the team and the low confidence make that unrealistic.
The position of Interim Head Coach, Prince Yaw Owusu, confirms this.
In his post-match interview, the crest-fallen coach, Yaw Owusu, did not mince words about the club’s predicament, insisting that, “the title ambition is over.”
“There’s nothing like a title dream again. That dream for this season is gone forever. What we need to do now is to keep fighting to salvage a respectable position for the club,” he stated.
Kotoko was poor from the start, allowing Medeama to dominate the game for greater spells, culminating in an early goal from a deflected strike.
Adams hammered the final nail into the Porcupine Warriors coffin to climax a Man-of-the-Match display.
