“Very happy, beating hearts of oak back to back is not an easy job l. So I am happy. I think it’s an honour for this group of players. It’s been a while since this thing happened. We are all happy. You could see when the final whistle was blown. Steve [Mukwala] made it so beautiful,” he said.
Kotoko now lie in ninth place on the league log. Five points off the top four with three matches left to the end of the season, and although attaining that finish looks unlikely, their fans will be pleased to have bragging rights over their fiercest rivals.
