Real Tamale United won the opening game of the 2023–24 Ghana Premier League on Friday night at the Aliu Mahama Stadium, according to Hearts of Oak head coach Martin Koopman.
After producing the most scoring opportunities, “The Pride of The North” were the better team in the first half. They missed out on great opportunities to spare the Phobians.
Owusu Afriyie, a striker, scored the game’s lone goal in injury time.
At the end of the game, Martin Koopman declared that RTU had earned the victory.
He told StarTimes that, “In the first half they (RTU) have a lot of chance. So, we don’t say it’s not deserved. Last seconds, the corner kick they scored. I think that overall the game, they deserve a winning game.”
