Bofoakwa Tano head coach, John Eduafo, expressed his elation after his team secured the final spot in the 2023/24 FA Cup.
The Sunyani-based team defeated the defending champions, Dreams FC, 2-1 in the semifinal at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope on Sunday afternoon.
Eduafo spoke after the game, emphasizing his team's determination to overcome Dreams FC despite their impressive performances in the CAF Confederation Cup.
“It’s all joy. I am so excited and so happy. In my initial submission, I said this is my fourth meeting with Dreams FC. The first meeting was when I was with Kotoku Royals. We beat them 3-0 at Dawu. The second time was when we played them in their half two months ago with Bofoakwa and we lost 3-1," he said.
“Playing them again last week, I promised that it is either we share the points or one becomes a winner and today I came all determined to beat my father because it is time we also need to come up. I am so happy," he added.
Aboagye Dacosta scored for Bofoakwa Tano just two minutes into the second half. Dreams FC equalized in the 60th minute through a controversial penalty, but Bofoakwa's skipper Abdul Jalilu netted the equalizer before Elijah Addai secured the victory for Bofoakwa, ending the game 2-1 in extra time.
Bofoakwa Tano will face Nsoatreman FC in the FA Cup final at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
