  • King Faisal owner Alhaji Grusah has sent a message to rivals Asante Kotoko after his side beat them in the GPL
  • King Faisal earned the bragging rights over their neighbours after a 3-2 victory on Sunday
  • Alhaji Grusah threw shades at Kotoko, claiming his team will use juvenile players to beat them

Bankroller and owner of King Faisal, Alhaji Karim Grusah has taken a dig at rivals Kumasi Asante Kotoko after his side's victory on Sunday, November 5, 2021.

According to Alhaji Grusah, he won't spend a dime in bringing foreign players to the club but he will recruit juvenile players and still beat the Porcupine Warriors.

In a video posted on Twitter, spotted by YEN.com.gh, Alhaji Grusah boastfully reacted to King Faisal's victory at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

"We have a player that can run with any player in this country and that is Zubeiru. I told TV3 we will still beat Kotoko even without Osman Ibrahim and Emmanuel Sarkodie," he said in a post match interview.
"The referee awarded them a dubious penalty initially but we don't mind. We have beaten them, we scored three and they scored two. We won't buy players from outside, we used colts and second division players to beat them."

The victory keeps King Faisal joint top with the Reds, and put an end to Kotoko's unbeaten start to the Ghana Premier League.

King Faisal end Asante Kotoko's unbeaten start to the season

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that, King Faisal Babies FC earned the bragging rights over their nieghbours Kumasi Asante Kotoko after halting their unbeaten start to the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season.

Ibrahim Zubairu's hat-trick was enough as the 'In Sha Allah' boys grabbed all three points with a 3-2 victory at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.

Zubairu Ibrahim first met a brilliant pass from Mawuli Wayo with a one touch effort which was half saved by Razak Abalora before he headed home.

His second was a masterclass as his first touch took out a Kotoko defender before blasting home just few minutes to half time.

The Porcupine Warriors will pull one back through Cameroonian forward George Mfegue after the break but Zubairu restored King Faisal's two goal lead moments later.

And with ten minutes remaining, Mfegue gave Kotoko some hope with his second of the game but it was too late to rescue the Porcupine Warriors.
