Asante Kotoko, Kwame Opoku
Reigning Ghana Premier League champions Samartex held league leaders Asante Kotoko to a 1-1 draw in Samreboi on Saturday, March 15, 2024.
The two sides shared the spoils on Matchday 24 of the Ghana Premier League, with each team finding the net once.
Dramani Awuah gave the home side an early lead in the first half, but Kwame Opoku equalised for the Porcupine Warriors immediately after the restart in the second half.
The result is a setback for Kotoko’s title ambitions, as they risk dropping to third place by the end of the matchweek.
Kotoko remain at the top of the table with 38 points, just one point ahead of Bibiani Gold Stars and two points above third-placed Hearts of Oak.
Meanwhile, Samartex sit in 8th place, trailing Kotoko by 10 points after 21 matches this season.
The draw also extends Samartex’s winless run against Kotoko to three games, marking their first-ever draw against the Porcupine Warriors.
