Asante Kotoko continued their trend of narrow victories on Sunday afternoon, edging past Basake Holy Stars with a 1-0 win at the Baba Yara Stadium.
The decisive moment came in the 14th minute when Samuel Tenedu’s strike took a deflection and found the back of the net. This crucial goal secured Kotoko’s third consecutive victory and extended their unbeaten streak to four matches. The Porcupine Warriors now sit at the top of the table, holding a one-point lead, thanks to Bibiani Gold Stars’ failure to win against Hearts of Oak.
Kotoko controlled much of the game, enjoying 52 percent possession and creating several attacking opportunities. However, their struggles in front of goal persisted, as they failed to extend their lead despite dominating play. Meanwhile, Basake Holy Stars found it difficult to break through Kotoko’s solid defense and now face the risk of slipping into the relegation zone.
With confidence high, Kotoko will shift their focus to their next home fixture against Berekum Chelsea, aiming to solidify their position at the top. Meanwhile, Basake Holy Stars must regroup quickly as they fight to avoid relegation.
