Kwabena Adusei converted a last-gasp
penalty at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium to
hand Asante Kotoko a narrow 1-0 win over
New Edubiase United in a nail-biting
encounter on Sunday.
The Porcupine Warriors struggled to break
down a resilient Edubiase side with playmaker
Asiedu Attobrah handing them a nightmarish
game before their home fans.
Alhassan Nuhu took his marching orders
midway through the second half and Kotoko
took advantage of the numerical advantage to
heap pressure on their visitors.
The game travelled deep into injury-time
before a defender handled the ball inside the
Edubiase box.
Adusei stepped up and rattled the net to keep
Kotoko's perfect round intact.
Elsewhere at the Tema Park, Hearts of Oak got
back to their winning ways after surviving a
late scare to beat league debutants Inter Allies
3-2.
Attacker Winful Cobbinah scored twice in the
first half for Hearts (13th and 24th) but
Goeckel Ahotor halved the deficit for Allies in
the 35th minute.
But Selasi Adjei restored the two-goal
advantage for Hearts six minutes before the
break.
Hearts tried to increase the tally but Selasi
wasted most of the chances that came his
way.
A horrible howler committed by Tetteh
Luggard gifted Allies another goal in the 81st
minute.
Heart of Lions needed a double strike Nana
Agyiri to beat visiting Amidaus Professionals
2-1 at the Kpando Park.
Agyiri, a former Hearts of Oak striker, scored
first from open play before converting from
the spot.
Daniel Awuney netted from a penalty kick
award in the 75th minute to help Lions to
their first win of the campaign.
A sublime finish from Daniel Kodie gave
Liberty Professionals a slim 1-0 win over King
Faisal in what was a highly entertaining game
at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Godbless Asamoah scored a fine equaliser for
Medeama SC at the Golden City Park in
Berekum as they held Berekum FC to a 1-1
stalemate.
Youngster Godwin Tetteh had scored first for
the Blues following a dazzling move by Nana
Poku from inside the box.
AshGold had to hold onto an early strike from
Francis Agyei to beat Wa All Stars 1-0 at the
