Youngster Kelvin Nkrumah delivered a breathtaking extra-time performance, scoring a sensational hat-trick to power Medeama SC to a hard-fought 3–0 victory over Attram De Visser FC in the quarter-finals of the MTN FA Cup on Sunday evening at the Cape Coast Stadium.

In what turned out to be a gripping contest, the Mauve and Yellow were pushed to their limits by the determined Division One League side. Attram De Visser showed resilience and organisation throughout regulation time, frustrating Medeama’s attacking efforts and forcing the match into extra time after a goalless 90 minutes.

However, the breakthrough finally arrived in the 109th minute when Nkrumah, who had been a constant menace to the Attram De Visser defense all evening, produced a sublime finish from inside the penalty area to give Medeama the lead.

The pacy winger then took full control of the match moments later. Just three minutes after opening the scoring, Nkrumah struck again in the 112th minute, doubling Medeama’s advantage and putting the Premier League side firmly in command.

With Attram De Visser struggling to recover from the sudden onslaught, Medeama were awarded a penalty shortly after. Nkrumah stepped up confidently in the 114th minute and converted from the spot, completing a remarkable hat-trick and sealing a memorable victory for the Tarkwa-based club.

Despite the defeat, Attram De Visser earned plaudits for their spirited performance, matching their top-flight opponents for long periods and showcasing impressive determination before eventually succumbing to Medeama’s late surge.

The victory sends Medeama into the semi-finals of the competition, where they will face Dreams FC as they continue their pursuit of domestic glory and keep alive their hopes of securing a historic double this season.

For Medeama fans, the night in Cape Coast will be remembered for one name, Kelvin Nkrumah, whose explosive extra-time heroics turned a tense stalemate into a statement victory.
