Medeama crowned an evening of good football with a 2-1 win to beat Kotoko to the 2015 MTN FA Cup title at the Essipong Sports Stadium, Sekondi to emerge champions for the second time.

The numerous spectators, who trooped to the 25,000 capacity stadium in Sekondi had value for their money as the two teams sold good football to prove that the Ghana Premier League has some quality.

Kwasi Donsu broke the deadlock of the game for Medeama, before Ahmed Toure snatched the equalizer for the Porcupine Warriors, but substitute Bismarck Oppong turned up to be the hero of the day with the match winner in the second half.

Referee Joseph Lamptey made a questionable call to deny the defending champions a well fought equalizer, when Richard Mpong headed in from a rebound, after Muntari Tagoe, had failed to grab the ball, from Eric Donkor’s freekick.

Eric Kwakwa was voted the man of the match for his display of good football.

Kotoko's staring line up: Joseph Addo, Amos Frimpong, Christpher Bonney, Ahmed Adams, Abeiku Ainooson, Michael Akuffu, Frank Sarfi, Jackson Owusu, Eric Donkor, Ahmed Toure, Obed Owusu.

Medeama's starting line-up: Muntari Tagoe, Samuel Adade, Evans Quao, Daniel Amoah,Jacob Apau, Ebebezer Adjei, Malik Akowuah, kwasi Donsu, Eric Kwakwa, Moses Sarpong, Benjamin Bature.
