Nsoatre was so hostile to Asante Kotoko to the extent that a staunch communicator who had dedicated himself to the Ghana Premier League promotion was stabbed multiple times by a fan of Nsoatreman leading to his untimely death.

Asante Kotoko lost narrowly by 1-0 to the struggling Nsoatreman, with Gabriel Bonnah’s 76th-minute strike making the difference. Skipper Justice Blay and Camra were sent off in the 65th minute for Kotoko as Steven Diyou was also shown the red card for Nsoatreman.
