Medeama Sporting Club midfielder Prosper Owusu Boakye has been crowned the NASCO Man of the Match following his stellar performance in the Mauve and Yellow’s 2-1 comeback win over Basake Holy Stars in their Ghana Premier League Week 21 clash at the TnA Stadium on Tuesday. The dynamic playmaker’s midfield mastery proved decisive in securing the Tarkwa Derby spoils on a vibrant public holiday.
Boakye was instrumental in turning the tide after Medeama trailed 1-0, driving the team forward with his vision, tenacity, and pinpoint passing. His influence set the stage for Kamaradini Mamudu’s equalizer before halftime and Fordjour’s late winner in the 89th minute, earning him the well-deserved accolade from match officials and fans alike.
“It’s an honor to be recognized, but this is a team effort and we hope this boosts us against Hearts of Oak,” Boakye said to the club’s media. “The fans were amazing, and my teammates fought hard. I’m just happy to play my part.” Head Coach Ibrahim Tanko lauded his star: “Prosper was exceptional—his energy and creativity lifted us. He’s a big reason we won today.”
The award caps a memorable day for Boakye, who is now looking to build on this momentum after returning to full action from a long injury layoff. Boakye was instrumental in Medeama’s victory over Aduana FC last week, replicating a purple patch display against close neither in a comeback triumph.
