Asante Kotoko maintained their position at the top of the Ghana Premier League table with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea on Wednesday afternoon at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
The match was a tense affair, with Kotoko struggling to create clear-cut chances, while Berekum Chelsea looked the more dangerous side in the opening stages. However, the home team capitalized on a moment of brilliance from defender Daniel Adjetey, whose powerful strike from outside the box in the 79th minute broke the deadlock against the run of play.
Kotoko’s attacking play was far from clinical, and fans grew frustrated as their team struggled to find rhythm. Despite a late push from Chelsea, Kotoko managed to hold on to secure the three points.
This match also served as a preview for their upcoming clash in the Ghana FA Cup semi-finals in May, where both teams will meet again in a highly anticipated encounter.
With the win, Kotoko extended their unbeaten run to six league games, having secured back-to-back victories. Berekum Chelsea, on the other hand, remain in mid-table, sitting ninth in the league standings.
