Ghanaians hail 'special' Isaac Oppong after netting match winner for Kotoko in CAFCL against Kadiogo

Oppong came clutch, scoring from the last kick of the game to hand Kotoko a vital 1-0 away win in Cotonou.

Some Ghanaians, primarily Kotoko supporters, believe the player has a high ceiling and will improve over time.

Others assert that his injuries last season prevented fans from enjoying the talented winger and that they are relieved to see him back in action and doing what he does best.

The 19-year-old had a promising start to last season before suffering an injury that kept him out for the majority of the season.

Kotoko, after the win, now head into the second leg, leading on aggregate. They will host the return encounter in Kumasi at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, September 18 2022.

The winner of the tie will face either Gaborone of Bostwana or the Congolese side, AS Vita Club.

Below are some reactions

My prayer this season is for Isaac Oppong to stay fit throughout the season and we will witness a gem of a player we have in our hands.
