The 25-year-old wasted no time making an impact, breaking the deadlock just eight minutes into the encounter with a poacher's finish.

His clinical finishing added another chapter to his remarkable return.

Despite the bright start, Kotoko faced an early setback when Nana Kwesi drew the visitors level 14 minutes later.

Undeterred, the home side responded emphatically with a three-goal blitz in just 12 minutes.

Amidu Acquah restored the lead with a towering header, followed by Opoku completing his brace with a composed finish.

Saaka Dauda rounded off a dominant first half, firing home on the stroke of halftime to put the result beyond doubt.

Kotoko’s offensive display highlighted their ability to exploit defensive frailties with precision.

Prosper Narteh Ogum's tactical adjustments ensured the midfield dictated play, creating spaces for the forwards to thrive.

Vision FC struggled to cope with the intensity, allowing Kotoko to assert complete control before the break.

Although the second half didn’t produce further goals, the Porcupine Warriors managed the game expertly to secure their fourth victory in five matches.

The result sees them climb to 31 points after 17 rounds, trailing Nations FC by just a single point and sitting two shy of leaders Bibiani Gold Stars, as noted by 3news.

Looking ahead

With their confidence soaring, Kotoko now turn their attention to a home clash against relegation-threatened Karela United at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

For Kwame Opoku, his red-hot form remains key as the team aims to maintain their push for the summit of the league standings.

The striker’s sharpness in front of goal, combined with the team's fluidity, could prove pivotal in their quest for glory.

Can Kwame Opoku spur Kotoko to Ghana Premier League glory?

With Opoku in electrifying form, YEN.com.gh sought insights from Ghana Premier League expert and Kumasi-based Luv FM journalist Steven Zando on Kotoko's chances of clinching the top-flight title.

"Yes Kwame Opoku is a good striker and his numbers spoke highly for him in his first stint for Kotoko.

"When Kotoko brought him back, I had my doubts because he had not been active for almost one and half years but so far, he seems to be proving me wrong.

"Five goals in his last four games for Kotoko in all competitions is a good return to spur the Porcupines to Ghana Premier League glory.

"Especially in the absence of lead striker Albert Amoah who is injured, Kwame Opoku will be needed to shoulder the goal scoring responsibility at Kotoko."

Kotoko signs third striker of the January transfer window

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh reported that Asante Kotoko have strengthened their attacking options with the addition of Isaac Mintah, marking their third striker signing in the January transfer window.

The Porcupine Warriors are gearing up for the second half of the 2024/25 season, hoping to win the Ghana Premier League for the umpteenth time.
