GPL: Kokoto takes down Nsoatreman
Kumasi Asante Kotoko registered their second win in four games in the 2024-2025 Ghana Premier League season, beating Nsoatreman FC 1-0.
Elvis Kyei-Baffour’s 47th-minute strike sealed the win for the Porcupine Warriors as they hosted Nsoatreman FC at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.
The win comes on the back of Kotoko drawing with Berekum Chelsea in the immediate past round despite creating chances.
Kotoko dominated the game statistically by registering more goal attempts (18 to Nsoatreman’s four), more shots on target (six to Nsoatreman’s one), more corner kicks (seven to Nsoatreman’s two) and ball possession (55% to Nsoatreman’s 45%).
Nsoatreman midfielder Daniel Amoo got sent off in the 78th minute after receiving his second yellow card; Amoo was shown his first yellow card in the 71st minute.
Kotoko will take on Accra Lions next Sunday, October 6 at 15:00 GMT at Obuasi; the Lions beat Kotoko 3-2 away from home in last season’s campaign.
In another outstanding league game, defending league champions FC Samartex 1996 drew 1-1 with Bibiani Gold Stars.
