Kumasi Asante Kotoko Sporting Club striker, Steven Mukwala, says one of his two goals scored against Accra Hearts of Oak was down to instincts.<\/p>\n

Mukwala scored a brace as Kotoko beat Hearts 2-0 at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi with his scoring outing taking the Ugandan\u2019s tally to 14 goals for the 2023-2024 Ghana Premier League season drawing the praise of Kotoko coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum.<\/a> (Click highlighted text to read full story)<\/p>\n

The win is Kotoko\u2019s second over Hearts of Oak this season and Mukwala scored in the first leg that had the Porcupine Warriors beat Hearts 3-2.<\/p>\n

Mukwala tracked a long ball and maintained his composure under tremendous pressure to slot the ball into the net for his first and cut the ball on to his right foot on a counter attack before slamming the ball into the bottom left side of the goal for his second goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking in his post game interview, Mukwala praised his team for the win and went ahead to breakdown his goals scored in the eighth and 92nd minutes respectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was teh tactical approach. There were two Hearts players defending me so I had to distance myself from them so they didn\u2019t l know my position. That one (the second goal) was just an instinct. I saw a defender coming so I had to reduce my speed so that\u2019s how I scored.\u201d<\/p>\n
