Kumasi Asante Kotoko Sporting Club striker Steven Mukwala has described his debut goal in the 2023-2024 BetPawa Premier League season as one he had been waiting for a while.
Mukwala came off the bench to score in Kotoko’s exciting 2-2 draw with city rival Nations FC at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.
The Uganda international had a solid debut run in the Ghanaian top flight last season scoring 11 goals and adding five assists in 31 league games for the Porcupine Warriors.
However, he has had a slow start to the new campaign and his goal against Nations FC was his first in four league outings this season.
Speaking to Kotoko’s official media channel, the 24 year old stated, “It’s the goal that I have been waiting for. You know it has not been easy I started on a slow note basically that (getting the goal) will really push me.”
“It has not been easy for me. Actually I’ve been struggling but I think actually that goal has opened up my account so you should expect more to come.”
Mukwala is in line to play in Kotoko’s crunch tie against Bechem United on Sunday, October 29.
