Asante Kotoko continues to demonstrate dominance in the Ghana Premier League, securing their third consecutive victory with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Berekum Chelsea on Monday evening. This triumph propels them to the 7th position on the league table, boasting 19 points and trailing league leaders Aduana FC by a mere five points after 13 games.
The match, held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, unfolded as a closely contested battle, with both Asante Kotoko and Berekum Chelsea creating scoring opportunities. However, it was Asante Kotoko’s striker, Steven Mukwala, who emerged as the game-changer by netting the decisive goal in the 40th minute. Despite Mukwala’s initial mishit shot, his unwavering determination led him to follow up and poke the ball into the net from close range.
With this triumphant streak, Asante Kotoko is steadily reclaiming their position in the league. Their upcoming fixture promises to be a challenging test as they face off against arch-rivals Hearts of Oak.
Meanwhile, Berekum Chelsea maintains their 6th place standing with 20 points, merely one point ahead of Asante Kotoko. Eager to rebound from this narrow defeat, they are set to confront Great Olympics in their next fixture.
