Kumasi Asante Kotoko did their title bid a lot of good on Sunday as they defeated their listless landlord's Ashantigold by 1-0 at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.

Landlords AshantiGold started the game on the front foot and had the first opening in the 7th minute but goalkeeper Kwame Baah denied the miners.

Kotoko also struck the frame of the post with a free kick from Patrick Asmah from outside the penalty area.

In the 23rd minute mercurial playmaker, Fabio Gama headed home a beautiful cross from Patrick Asmah to give Kotokoa 1-0 lead.

The porcupine warriors though they had scored the second goal after a well taken free kick from Emmanuel Keyekeh was tipped behind by goalie Kofi Mensah.

Not much changed during the second half with Yaw Anorl guilty of missing an open goal as he skied the ball high and wide to the surprise of everyone in the stadium.

The porcupine warriors will next travel to Dawu to face wounded lions Inter Allies who are battling relegation whiles the miners host Ebusua Dwarfs next weekend.
