Asante Kotoko midfielder Michael Akuffo has dedicated his �super� winning goal against Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League derby to coach Isaac Opeele Boateng. He picked a loose ball from 30-yards and unleashed a thunderbolt which beat Hearts goalkeeper Sammy Adjei to make it 2-1 at the death of the game just a minute after Hearts had equalized. Opeele, Ghana Under-17 assistant coach, was the first to acknowledge the worth ethic of the former Fetteh Feyenoord Academy graduate and nicknamed him after former Libya leader Muammar Gaddafi. Akuffo�s non-stop engine and box-to-box charging style of play has made him a key figure in the Kotoko squad en route to winning a record 22nd league title. �I will to dedicate this goal to my pastor of Believers Worship Centre and coach Opeele who nicknamed me Gaddafi,� Akuffo told Kumasi-based Fox FM. Akuffo is in his second season at the club.
