betPawa GPL: Kotoko launch a spirited comeback win over newbies Samartex
Asante Kotoko returned to winning ways after a spirited comeback win over newly promoted side Samartex at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
After losing to Bechem United in midweek, the Porcupine Warriors left things late in the tie as it appeared they were dropping valuable points again when Samartex broke the deadlock four minutes after recess through Prince Antwi.
The defending league champions kept their cool and exhibited their resilience as Nicholas Mensah scored his second goal of the season to draw parity in the game.
Not long after they scored again through an Augustine Agyapong spectacular free kick as Samartex finished the game with a man down.
The win sees Kotoko climb up the league log to third place while Samartex drop to 15th.
Kotoko will travel to Tarkwa when they lock with Medeama whiles Samartex take on neighbours Bibiani Gold Stars on Matchweek 6.
