Kumasi Asante Kotoko Sporting Club have bagged their first win under head coach Karim Zito to end a four game winless run via a 1-0 win over Aduana Stars.
Zito was named as Kotoko’s head trainer after Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum was fired after losing back to back games to Accra Lions and Nations FC.
The winning goal came in the 25th minute courtesy a fine strike from striker Kwame Poku who ended a goal drought in the process.
Goalkeeper Mohammed Camara played a huge role in the win by saving a penalty in the 37th minute to maintain the Porcupine Warriors en route to the win.
The game largely didn’t have a ton of exciting moments with Kotoko registering just a shot on target out of four shots in total while Aduana had no shot on target despite attempting seven shots.

Kotoko still stay in fourth place in the league standings but closed the point gap to three points (50) after league leaders Bibiani Gold Stars (53 points) lost 2-0 to Vision FC.
Kotoko take on bitter rivals Accra Hearts of Oak next.
