Asante Kotoko returned to winning ways with a commanding 2-0 victory over Aduana FC at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park on Sunday, ending a run of four consecutive defeats.
Patrick Asiedu opened the scoring in the 10th minute with a stunning free-kick that struck the underside of the crossbar before crossing the line.
The goal brought relief to Kotoko fans and saw Asiedu sprinting to the touchline to celebrate with under-pressure head coach Prosper Ogum.
Albert Amoah doubled the lead on the hour mark, marking his return from injury with a composed finish.
The forward was perfectly positioned to tap in a cross, ensuring Kotoko claimed all three points.
However, the second half of the match was delayed due to alleged invasion of Aduana fans into the match officials’ dressing room.
The incident caused tension at the stadium before play resumed under heightened security.
The result sees Kotoko climb to seventh on the league table with 18 points from 12 matches, while Aduana Stars, struggling at 14th place, remain on 12 points.
This victory could mark a turning point for Prosper Ogum’s side as they aim to climb the standings.
