Nsuopon Fidelity FC kicked off their Group B campaign in the 2026 X1 DOL Super Cup with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over FC AshantiGold at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.
Andrews Cobbinah’s 82nd-minute strike proved to be the difference as Fidelity secured all three points in a tightly contested encounter.
The first half ended goalless, with both sides creating decent chances but failing to find the breakthrough. FC AshantiGold forward Richmond Fosu came close on several occasions but was unable to convert his opportunities.
After the break, Nsuopon Fidelity head coach Abdul Fatawu made tactical changes that eventually paid off, as Cobbinah found the back of the net late in the game to seal victory for the Zone Two debutants.
Fidelity, who enjoyed an impressive maiden Division One League campaign last season finishing third in Zone Two with 51 points, will be hoping to build on this strong start against an AshantiGold side that dominated the same zone with 64 points to secure their maiden Ghana Premier League qualification.
Nsuopon Fidelity defensive midfielder Isaac Kojo Fosu has been named Man of the Match following his side’s 1-0 victory over FC AshantiGold in their opening Group B fixture of the 2026 X1 DOL Super Cup at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.
Despite the narrow scoreline, Nsuopon Fidelity controlled much of the encounter, with captain Fosu playing a pivotal role in dominating the midfield and dictating the tempo.
The defensive midfielder delivered an outstanding 90-minute performance, winning crucial challenges, breaking up AshantiGold’s attacks, and making it difficult for his opponents to establish any sustained control.
His leadership, composure, and commanding presence in midfield proved instrumental in helping Nsuopon Fidelity secure all three points.
