Kotoko Reserve Team goalkeeper, Rashid Seidu was the toast of spectators at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon when he pulled a number of breathtaking saves to help his side register a 2-0 win over their colleagues from Ashantigold.

Strikers Alhassan Bukari and Mumuni Mustapha put Kotoko on the score sheet in the game that preceded the big clash, the Kotoko-Ashantigold later in the evening. With a goal being scored in each half, the young Ashantigold side could have easily cancelled one of the two-goal deficit early in the second half and further gone ahead to equalise especially in the dying minutes of the match but the Kotoko young goalie did well to keep his team  on top.

Seidu’s spectacular saves earned him applause from both the small crowd and  new coach, Henry Wellington who started work only last week.

“They were signed before I came. They are young. They are very good but they did not play as a team that is why I have told the senior team coach that I want to see all the players” said Coach Henry Wellington who had some nice thoughts on Rashid Seidu. “He is a very good goalkeeper. If he continues like that, he will be great. The goalie said he would continue working hard for a chance in the senior team.
