Albert Amoah’s first-half goal secured a crucial victory for Asante Kotoko against reigning champions Samartex at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi.
Kotoko’s 1-0 victory moved them back into second place on the league standings with one outstanding game.
Kotoko’s perseverance paid off in the 31st minute when Amoah’s goal secured the victory after Samartex’s defense was unable to clear the strike.
The triumph marks Kotoko’s second straight victory at Len Clay, where they are still undefeated. Meanwhile, Samartex’s title defense struggles worsened as they appeared toothless throughout the match, unable to challenge Kotoko’s dominance.
Kotoko’s strong performance bolsters their pursuit of a title challenge, while Samartex must swiftly re-establish momentum to regain the form that saw them clinch the league title last season.
Meanwhile, Dreams FC continued their winless start to the season with a goalless drawn game with Hearts of Oak at the Tuba Astroturf in Krokrobite.
Hearts of Oak, struggling for consistency this season, recorded their third 0-0 draw in four matches.
This results leaves Hearts of Oak in ninth place on the table, while Dreams FC is stuck in the relegation zone.
Hearts of oak next will face a tough test against current league leaders Bibiani Goldstars, while Dreams FC will look to turn things around against Young Apostles.
