Asante Kotoko continued their unbeaten run with a narrow 1-0 victory over defending champions FC Samartex at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on Sunday.
Albert Amoah’s decisive goal came in the 31st minute, as he finished off a perfectly delivered out-swinging cross from Patrick Asiedu.
The win marked Kotoko’s third consecutive triumph, highlighting their strong early-season form. Kotoko dominated the game, controlling 53% of possession and creating 17 goal attempts compared to Samartex’s five.
Kotoko also registered four shots on target, while Samartex only managed two efforts that tested Kotoko’s goalkeeper.Despite the close scoreline, Kotoko’s disciplined defense and commanding play ensured a well-deserved clean sheet.
The win leaves Kotoko in second place on the league table, just one point behind leaders Bibiani Goldstars, with a game in hand. They will next face Legon Cities in Accra as they look to extend their unbeaten streak.
Meanwhile, Samartex will be seeking a bounce-back performance in their upcoming match against Berekum Chelsea.
