Asante Kotoko survive Dwarfs scare to secure comeback win in Ghana Premier League

Like Kotoko’s big January signing Vinicius, Dwarfs’ Japanese acquisition Jindo Morishita was relegated to the bench. In the ninth minute, Kotoko defender Imoro Ibrahim tested Dwarfs goalkeeper Razak Issah with a shot, six minutes before goalkeeper Razak Abalora was forced into a save by Elia Kofi at the other end. Habib Mohammed then made another attempt to get the Porcupine Warriors the opening goal but his shot from outside the box missed the target by a whisker. Dwarfs broke the deadlock in the 25th minute when Korsah smashed a shot from outside the box into the net after a shortish free-kick was rolled onto his path.

Gyamfi s strike steers Asante Kotoko over Gyan s Legon Cities in Ghana Premier League

Legon, on the other hand, are caught up in the relegation zone in 16th position. Kotoko coach Mariano Barreto made three changes to his starting team, restoring Mudasiru Salifu, Christopher Nettey and Godfred Asiamah into the set-up. Legon relegated veteran Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan to the bench, instead putting faith in the likes of Jonah Attuquaye, in-form Hans Kwoffie and Niger forward Victorien Adebayor. The away side broke the deadlock in the 13th minute through Okrah, whose touch on Fabio Gama s free-kick was enough to steer the ball into the back of the net. Four minutes later, Kwoffie had a good chance to draw Legon level after picking up a through pass inside the box but his effort was blocked by goalkeeper Razak Abalora.

Asante Kotoko stunned by Medeama in Ghana Premier League

Kotoko coach Mariano Barreto made two changes to the side that started against Great Olympics in the previous games. Brazilian attacker Fabio Gama Dos Santos returned to the XI after serving a suspension while Augustine Okrah was similarly restored to the team after recovering from an injury. Medeama, on the other hand, had to do without Ghana midfielder Justice Blay, who sustained an injury while playing against Legon Cities on the previous matchday. Unlike Blay who missed a chance to face former side Asante Kotoko, Burkina Faso striker Amed Toure had the opportunity but could only do so from the bench.
