Asante Kotoko forward Steven Desse Mukwala has attributed his outfit triumph over Hearts of Oak in the Super Clash to the love and pride associated with Kumasi.
The Porcupine Warriors completed the double over their arch-rivals, following a thrilling 3-2 win earlier in the campaign.
The Uganda international scored two brilliant goals as the Porcupine Warriors cruised to a 2-0 win at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Mukwala opened the scoring after just eight minutes into the game before sealing victory in injury time to snatch maximum points for the Porcupine Warriors.
"We did it for the love and pride of Kumasi," Mukwala wrote on X. "The Spirit of Asanteman Lives on."
Mukwala, who has been named in the Uganda national squad for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers is currently in contention for the Ghana Premier League goal king prize. He has racked up 14 goals, one goal adrift of Stephen Amankona, who leads the race with 15 goals.
The win propels Kotoko into the top half of the table, now in 9th place and further away from the relegation zone.
