Under the direction of head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum, Kotoko featured a dynamic lineup that included several recent additions. With numerous scoring opportunities in the first half of the game, the team controlled. The game's turning point came from a penalty kick in the thirty-first minute, which veteran midfielder Justice Blay converted with assurance to put Kotoko ahead.
Following a fierce struggle, Kotoko emerged victorious as Peter Amidu scored a spectacular goal to win the match and win the Democracy Cup. Kotoko will visit Washington to play DC United later this year as a prize for their victory.
