Asante Kotoko secured a hard-fought 2–1 victory over Young Apostles on Wednesday in an exciting Ghana Premier League clash at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
In a game marked by intensity and determination, Kotoko broke the deadlock early in the second half when Hubert Gyau fired home in the 51st minute. But their lead was short-lived, as Young Apostles responded almost immediately through Richmond Opoku, who struck just two minutes later to level the score.
With the match heading toward a draw, the Porcupine Warriors pushed relentlessly for a winner. Their efforts paid off deep into stoppage time when a late penalty was awarded. Samba O’Neil kept his composure to convert from the spot in the 90+9th minute, sending the home crowd into celebration.
The win provides a significant boost for Kotoko as they look to build momentum in the league, while Young Apostles leave Kumasi disappointed after a spirited performance that nearly earned them a valuable point.
The fixture, marked as an outstanding match week encounter, delivered drama to the very end, exactly the kind of midweek football fans relish.
