Asante Kotoko staged a spirited late comeback to earn a 2-2 draw against Medeama SC in a pulsating Ghana Premier League clash at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The visitors raced into a stunning early lead, silencing the home crowd within five minutes when Derek Fordjour swept in the opener. Medeama doubled their advantage in the 19th minute after Mubarak Yussif converted from the penalty spot, putting Kotoko under real pressure.
Kotoko, however, refused to fold. Peter Acquah Amidu pulled one back after the break with a well-taken effort that reignited belief among the Porcupine Warriors.
The hosts pushed relentlessly, but Medeama appeared set to leave Kumasi with all three points until deep into stoppage time, when Captain Samba O’Neil pounced with a dramatic equaliser in the 94th minute.
The goal sent the home fans into wild celebration, completing a determined comeback that rescued a deserved point for Kotoko.
The draw keeps both sides within touching distance of the league’s top positions, with Kotoko showing resilience after a shaky start and Medeama demonstrating their attacking potency despite surrendering a two-goal cushion.
A compelling contest, it served up four goals, high tension and late drama, everything expected of a top-tier Ghana Premier League encounter.
