GPL: Asante Kotoko beat WAFA 1-0
Asante Kotoko continued their winning streak with a 1-0 win over WAFA at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
Richmond Lamptey shot home from inside the box to nail his former side who are yet to score and win a point on the road.
The first chance of the game came when Stephen Amankona’s header on a corner kick came off the upright.
WAFA switched their attacking front and went on a break with Justus Torsutsey’s long range effort beating Abalora off his line but the ball eventually went wide.
Amankona controlled a ball at the edge of the box and drilled in a pass into the box which was met by Gama but the connection went narrowly wide in the 25th minute.
For the second time this season, the referee rescinded an initial decision to award Kotoko with a penalty after consulting the Line 1.
Before the hour mark, Richmond Lamptey drilled home the goal after his earlier connection had been intercepted.
Mfegue’s close-range shot is blocked by the unsuspecting WAFA keeper and Etuoga’s finds himself close but fires feebly wide.
Two minutes to full time, Sampson Agyapong curled in a free-kick but Razak Abalora was alert to tip it over the frame for a corner kick which was wasted.
The results mean Kotoko maintain their grip on King Faisal and Aduana Stars tied on same points, but Asante Kotoko have an outstanding game with Accra Hearts of Oak.
