Dauda Mohammed Excited With Kotoko"s Win

Kumasi Asante Kotoko forward, Dauda Mohammed could not hide his excitement after scoring the only goal when the Porcupine Warriors defeated Dreams FC yesterday in their Match-Day Eight Ghana Premier League (GPL) game.

The 19-year-old striker scored what could be the fastest goal of the season after pouncing on Mozart Adjetey’s blunder from Amos Frimpong’s pile driver from about 30-yards.

“Coming into this game our position on the league log wasn’t deserving for Asante Kotoko,” Dauda said after the game.

“But it’s been a difficult start and I must admit but I am happy things are beginning to come together.”

“They are massive points for us and that is all we deserved given the hard work we have put in recent weeks.”

“The points picked up will do our confidence a huge boost going into our next round of games.”

Our hard work is paying off - Cosmos Dauda

Accra Hearts of Oak striker Cosmos Dauda says the hard work done by the team in pre-season is paying off at they sit top of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) after four games.

Dauda started last Sunday’s GPL Match-Day Four game against Bechem United as the Phobians posted a comfortable 3-1 win in Accra to move top of the standing, two points clear off All Stars and Dreams FC.

And Dauda said after the game that he was happy to have contributed in helping Hearts achieve this success which to him, is not surprising considering the great work the team did in pre-season.

“Our hard work is playing off and you will even see more as the season unfolds,” he told the club’s official newspaper, the Hearts News.

“This was a hard game and we expected it as sides that come up against us will always give off their best hoping to cause an upset,” he added.

“I was really relieved when the final whistle sounded, and, now that we top the table, we will look to maintain our focus and hold on to this lead,” Dauda said.

“It is the dream of us all to win the ultimate at the end of the campaign, and, we are all working towards that with the hope that our dream will become a reality.

Not many gave the Phobians a chance in this season’s championship after their poor return last season, but, they remain unbeaten after four games and have looked impressive under their Japanese-American coach Kenichi Yatsuhashi.

Accra Hearts of Oak will next play Inter Allies at the Tema Sports Stadium on Sunday, looking to preserve their unbeaten start to the season with the possibility of extending their lead at the top even further.
