Asante Kotoko notched a slender 1-0 victory over league pacesetters Samartex at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium during Matchweek 26.
Enock Morrison’s spot-kick in the 61st minute was the decisive moment that sealed the win for the Kumasi-based club.
The Porcupine Warriors faced significant challenges in the lead-up to the match, contending with fan unrest that resulted in denied access to training sessions.
However, intervention from Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who convened a crucial meeting, aimed to quell tensions within the club.
This victory comes as a much-needed relief for Kotoko, who had endured a winless streak spanning seven fixtures. The result is poised to bolster the team’s morale as they strive to regain momentum in the league.
With this win, Kotoko is expected to ascend in the league standings, while Samartex maintains their leadership position with 49 points.
Looking ahead, Kotoko will embark on an away fixture against Medeama SC in Tarkwa, while Samartex prepares to host Great Olympics at home during Matchweek 27.
