Kumasi Asante Kotoko returned to winning ways after back to back defeats against Berekum Chelsea and Medeama on the road.

The Porcupine warriors won by two goals to nil but it was not smooth sailing as they had to toil for most part of the game with Kwame Baah deputizing for Felix Annan who was taking his nuptials had to pull of amazing saves to ensure Kotoko kept a clean sheet.

Ebusua Dwarfs came in with a clear game plan to try and frustrate Asante Kotoko with their two banks of four but their plan the first hitch in the 15th minute when Asante Kotoko were awarded a penalty after a foul in the penalty box.

Up stepped Sogne Yacouba who could only tamely send the ball into the arms of goalkeeper Issah Razak as the scoreline remained goalless going into the break.

Kotoko were guilty of several misses after Sogne Yacouba, captain on the day Emmanuel Gyamfi,Naby Keita all had chances to have scored but missed.

It had to taje 16 year old Mathew Anim Cudjoe who was fed by a Justice Blay header before firng the ball into the bottom corner to open the scores for the procupine warriors in the 83rd minute for his first Kotoko goal.

Richard Arthur made the results safe in the 86th minute when he bundled home Naby Keita's initial shot which was parried by goalkeeper Issah Razak to hand Kotoko all three points after two defeats in a row and the first of five home games behind closed doors.
