MTN FA Cup: Berekum Chelsea knock Asante Kotoko out with shootout win in quarter-finals

Ghanaian giants, Asante Kotoko have been knocked out of this season’s MTN FA Cup after losing Berekum Chelsea on penalties on Sunday afternoon.

The two fellow Ghana Premier League clubs locked horns at the Obuasi Len Clay Sports Stadium to fight for a win in their quarter-finals clash of the domestic cup competition.

With both teams failing to score after 90 minutes, the encounter traveled to extra time where Asante Kotoko dominated play but could not equalize to merit the victory.

At the end of a nervy penalty shootout, Berekum Chelsea triumphed and have defeated Asante Kotoko 5-4 to advance to the semi-finals of the competition.

The Blues after the victory are now set to go up against Obuasi Ashanti Gold SC. The Miners qualified for the semi-finals on Saturday afternoon when they beat Kintampo Top Talent FC 4-2 after 90 minutes.
