Ghana Premier League: Naby Keita powers Asante Kotoko to victory over King Faisal

Asante Kotoko ended their four-game winless run after beating King Faisal in an outstanding matchweek 15 clash at the Ohene Ameyaw Park in Techiman.

The Porcupines today played as a guest to the Kumasi rivals at the Ohene Ameyaw Park hoping to bounce back from the defeat to Elmina Sharks in the last outing.

The Fabulous boys who came into the game as favourites lived to the billing with an early minute incursion into the goal area of the Inhsllah Boys with a heavily armed midfield combination of Habib Mohammed, Mudasiru Salifu and Latif Anabila.

Dominating play in the first half, the Reds failed to get the better of the home team and ended the first half on level pegging.

Although Kotoko will continue to enjoy the lion’s share of possession in the first 30 minutes of the second half, they still failed to find the back of the net with King Faisal putting on a good fight to ensure they did not concede.

After mounting consecutive pressure on the home team in the final minutes of the match, however, Asante Kotoko finally had the breakthrough when Naby Keita equalized.

The result sees Kotoko moving to 4th on the Ghana Premier League table while King Faisal stays put in the relegation zone.
