Asante Kotoko climbed to third place on the league table as Prosper Narteh Ogum’s side cruised to a stunning 4-1 victory at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium over Vision FC.
Kotoko controlling affairs virtually from the start and took an early lead courtesy Kwame Poku’s 7th strike.
However, Vision FC were soon level, as Nana Yaw Osei scored to make it 1-1 during the 22nd minute.
Yet Kotoko remained largely on top in a pulsating first half and moved back in front nine minutes later through Peter Amidu Acquah.
Kwame Poku had been a menace throughout, and got his second goal, making 3-1 on the 37th minute for the Porcupine Warriors.
With Kotoko showing no mercy, Dauda Saaka then added the final goal just a minute before halftime.
In the second half, Asante Kotoko maintained their top performance but failed to make their threat count as the game ended with the first half scoreline.
Prosper Ogum’s side, now two points behind leaders Gold Stars and can go top with victory over Karela United on week 18 while Vision FC must somehow pull out of a slump that has seen them go 8 away league games without a win at a crucial stage of the season.
Elsewhere, Hearts of Oak were unable to break their winless run against Samartex. The Phobians were held to a goalless draw at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena.
They now find themselves 6th on the league table with 29 points from 17 games.
