In a thrilling encounter at the Savon Sanomat Areena, Ghanaian defender Clinton Antwi showcased his talent as KuPS secured a 2-1 triumph over VPS on Friday afternoon.

Despite an evenly contested match in terms of possession, KuPS emerged victorious with a higher number of shots on target. The first half ended in a stalemate, but KuPS took control in the second half, spurred on by Antwi’s outstanding performance.

Antwi demonstrated his attacking abilities by breaking the deadlock with a superb strike, giving KuPS a 1-0 lead in the 47th minute. The momentum continued as Axel Vidjeskog extended the advantage just nine minutes later, capitalizing on an excellent assist from Joslyn Lutumba.

Although VPS attempted a comeback, with Mads Borchers narrowing the deficit to 2-1 in the 71st minute, KuPS held firm. The team faced a setback when defender Ibrahim Cisse was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in the 76th minute.

Despite being reduced to ten men, KuPS defended resolutely to secure the victory, with Antwi playing a crucial role in the team’s defensive solidity. With six appearances in the league, the Ghanaian has proven to be a valuable asset, contributing one goal and one assist to KuPS’s campaign.
