Asante Kotoko coach Dr Prosper Narteh Ogum showered Isaac Oppong with praise after the attacker's superb goal against Bibiani Goldstars. 

Oppong's goal secured Kotoko their third consecutive victory in the Ghana Premier League on Friday.

The 18-year-old was rewarded with his first league start after impressing as a substitute in the first two games of the season.

He assisted and scored a stunner as Kotoko earned a 3-1 comeback win over Dreams on the opening weekend

The following matchday, he won a penalty that helped Kotoko beat Bechem United 2-0 in Kumasi.

“He is an intelligent player; he is able to read and analyse the game. Look at the way he scored the goal, he just saw a little space and then put a spin on the ball and that was it. It takes a player with high game intelligence to be able to take that decision within that limited space," Ogum said.

“I am proud of him; he is a young chap I will talk to him to keep his focus so that he doesn’t become complacent and will be able to deliver."

The winger, nicknamed Neymar, joined Kotoko from lower-tier side Sunyani Bectero FC.
