After the game, the Burkina Faso International was named Man Of The Match (MOTM) despite failing to register his name on the score sheet.
He pounced on a loose ball inside Cities own half before sending Augustine Okrah through on goal for Kotoko’s equalizer on the 33’ minute.
Yacouba also assisted Emmanuel Gyamfi’s second but Kotoko’s third goal on the night, finding his way through two Cities defenders before incurring a stunning what seems a cross towards goal, which the ball met Gyamfi’s head to connect into the net.
The former Stade Malien striker was later replaced with Guinea forward Naby Kieta when it was three minutes to full time.
This marks the first time a Kotoko player has clinched the MOTM award after seeing the first award went to Techiman City player in week 1 of the Ghana Premier League.
