Asante Kotoko delivered a commanding performance to defeat Vision FC 4-1 at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday, extending their unbeaten run to five matches.
In-form striker Kwame Opoku was the star of the show, netting twice in a first-half blitz that left Vision FC reeling.
Opoku opened the scoring in the 8th minute with a clinical finish, but Vision FC briefly threatened to challenge when Nana Kwesi equalized against the run of play.
However, Peter Amidu Acquah restored Kotoko’s lead in the 32nd minute with another superb strike, underlining his value since rejoining the club.
Kotoko then surged ahead, with Peter Amidu Acquah and Saaka Dauda finding the back of the net to complete a dominant first half.
Vision FC had no answer to Kotoko’s relentless pressure and were left stranded in the bottom half of the table after the loss.
The statistics reflected Kotoko’s dominance, with the home side enjoying 56% possession and creating 16 goal attempts compared to Vision FC’s six. Kotoko registered five shots on target, while Vision managed only one.
Despite Kotoko’s relentless attack, Vision’s goalkeeper made just one save as the visitors struggled to contain their hosts.
Both sides received a yellow card during the game, but it was Kotoko’s clinical finishing that defined the contest. Pre-match odds had favoured Kotoko, and they delivered emphatically, moving just two points off the league summit.
Kotoko’s emphatic win keeps their unbeaten run alive and bolsters their title ambitions, while Vision FC are left searching for answers as they hover in the league’s lower half.
