William Opoku Mensah's first-half strike helped Asante Kotoko earn a
slender 1-0 victory over Karela United in the Ghana Premier League on
Independence Day.
The Porcupine Warriors claimed all three points at the Akoon Park in
Tarkwa to go
top of the league. However, that could change depending on
the outcome of matches Aduana Stars, Medeama and Berekum Chelsea this
weekend.
The former Karela United captain was at the right place in the box to
control a beautiful pass before applying a brilliant finish to give
Kotoko the lead inside four minutes.
Karela United tried as much as they can to restore parity but to no avail as Kotoko run away with the three points.
While Kotoko fans are celebrating this huge win, they will also be
excited with the comeback appearance of striker Songne Yacouba.
The Burkinabe came on to play 18 minutes of the match and he did
impress. He had been out of the team since matchday 5 due to contract
issues.
It is, however, unclear if Yacouba has reached a deal to extend his stay with the Porcupine Warriors.
