Former Kerala Blasters striker Kwame Peprah, who had a forgettable stint in the Indian Super League, has made a stunning comeback in Cambodia. The Ghanaian forward scored two crucial goals in the final of the Hun Sen Cup, leading his new club Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng to a thrilling title win.
Peprah, who was also named Player of the Match, delivered a standout performance in the high-voltage final against the top club Phnom Penh Crown. With both teams locked at 2-2 even after extra time, it was Peprah who netted both goals for Svay Rieng, keeping his side alive throughout the game.
The match eventually went into a penalty shootout, where Svay Rieng clinched the win with a 5–3 scoreline, securing the prestigious Hun Sen Cup trophy. Peprah’s two-goal heroics and overall display won over fans and critics alike, instantly making him a fan favourite.
Just last season, Peprah arrived at Kerala Blasters amid high expectations but failed to make an impact. Despite playing multiple matches, he couldn’t find the back of the net and was released during the summer transfer window.
Now, in a remarkable turnaround, he’s become a title-winner in Cambodia in his debut season. From being written off in India to becoming a champion abroad, Peprah’s story is one of resilience and redemption — and Indian football fans are watching with keen interest.
