The former King Faisal midfielder fired Kotoko into the lead from an acute angle from the right flank to beat the goalkeeper for the only goal of the game.

George Mfegue should have added the second goal for the reds in the 75th minute after he was set up by Steve Mukwala but he blazed the ball over.

Clinton Duodo caused a lot of problems for Kotoko but they were unable to pull parity.

The win takes Asante Kotoko to the second spot in the League log with 31 points – five points behind Aduana FC who were held by King Faisal.
