Asante Kotoko Captain Felix Annan is full of joy following their 2-1 crucial win over Karela United in matchday 30 of the Ghana Premier League at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.
The Porcupine Warriors moved to the top of the league table after beating Karela United FC,
Mariano Barreto’s side scored a perfect goal under the first 10 minutes of the match after Evans Adomako tapped home a cross but was ruled out for offside by the assistant referee.
Twenty-three minutes into the game, winger Emmanuel Gyamfi weaved his way through the defense of Karela like a hot knife in butter to score the opening goal of the game.
Karela came close once to pulling level but striker, Diawisie Taylor could not apply the finishing touch to restore parity for the visitors.
The opening half of the match ended 1-0 to the home team, Asante Kotoko.
Richard Berko restored parity for the away team after 61 minutes of action to make it 1-1.
Kotoko were awarded a penalty on the 73rd minute and was excellently converted by Fabio Gama Dos Santos to restore Kotoko’s lead.
It finished 2-1 to the Red and Whites who moves to 56 points from 30 games and are three points clear off rivals Accra Hearts of Oak who will play Legon Cities tomorrow in Accra.
Annan took to Twitter after the game to celebrate the important win ahead of Sunday’s Super Clash against arch-rivals Accra Hearts of Oak.
