Bibiani Goldstars' 24-year-old keeper marked his century of top-flight appearances by shutting out Basake Holy Stars in a 2-0 home win.
Ghana's top flight has a new centurion between the sticks. Bibiani Goldstars goalkeeper Emmanuel Kobi made his 100th Ghana Premier League appearance last Sunday, and he celebrated in the best way a keeper can: with a clean sheet.
The 24-year-old was a steady presence as Goldstars beat Basake Holy Stars 2-0 at home in week six, collecting all three points in front of their own fans. For a landmark outing, it was a composed and controlled display from the man in goal.
Kobi's journey to the milestone began in the 2023/24 season, when he made his league debut for Sunyani-based Bofoakwa Tano. He later moved to Bibiani Goldstars, where he has carved out another important chapter and remained a key part of the club's push in the domestic league.
Reaching 100 top-flight games before his mid-20s is no small feat for a goalkeeper, a position that demands consistency and nerve. The milestone underlines his staying power at the highest level of Ghanaian club football, and with plenty of years ahead, Kobi will be looking to build on that experience and keep his place between the posts for Goldstars.
