Asante Kotoko are top of the Ghana Premier League for the first time this season after ending Karela United’s perfect record with a 2-0 victory at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park in Aiyinase on Sunday.
The Porcupine Warriors inflicted on Karela their first defeat of the campaign to overtake them at the summit of the table.
Kotoko overcame the early pressure and started to attack. It paid off in the 39th minute when Ibrahim Imoro, a former Karela player, scored the opening goal. Imoro fired a low driven shot into the net for his second goal of the season.
Kwame Opoku, who has been Kotoko’s most important player this season, doubled the lead on 61 minutes. The striker got to end off fine pass by Emmanuel Gyamfi and produced clinical low strike into the left bottom corner.
Kotoko protected the two goals to claim a famous win.
