Both sides endured a strong first half in midfield, probing for the opener with Steven Dese Mukwala missing a glaring opportunity to notch Kotoko ahead.
The Ugandan forward failed with his first two attempts at goal in the 25th and 33rd minutes.
Aside Great Olympics long strike in the early minutes even before Kotoko began creating, the Dade Boys struggled in midfield and attack.

It was the Porcupines who gave series of attacks for goal while their opponents defended with goalkeeper Benjamin Asare being busy all day.
Isaac Oppong, Georges Mfegue, Baba Yahaya and Richmond Lamptey all came close to net the lead for Kotoko.
