Medeama coach Ibrahim Tanko hails Kelvin Obeng as missing piece after Kotoko rout

Mon 13th Apr, 2026 22:31

Medeama SC head coach Ibrahim Tanko has heaped praise on striker Kelvin Obeng following his standout performance in the club’s emphatic 4â€“0 victory over Asante Kotoko in their Week 29 Ghana Premier League clash at the TNA Stadium.

Obeng, who recently returned from a knee injury after joining from Aduana Stars, found the net in the dominant win. Tanko highlighted the forward’s overall impact, noting that his presence has filled a void that troubled the team in the first half of the season.

“You need a type of striker who can keep the ball for you, who is good in the air, and you could see that he is a typical striker in the box. That was the type of striker we were missing in the first round. I think adding him has given us a lot of options. " Tanko told the club’s media after the match.

The comprehensive victory, combined with Bibiani Gold Stars’ loss to Aduana Stars, propelled Medeama to the top of the league standings with a two-point lead.

Obeng’s return to form and fitness appears to have arrived at the perfect time for the Mauve and Yellow as they push for the title.
