Imoro Ibrahim wasted a good opportunity when Kotoko were awarded a free-kick in a dangerous place as he hit the human wall.
Three minutes later, George Mfegue was presented with a great opportunity to score but the Cameroonian’s shot was too feeble to beat Frank Boateng in goal.
Inside 62 minutes, Stephen Amankona was presented with a golden opportunity to restore parity for Kotoko but his finish misses the post by inch.
On the 82nd minute mark, Goalie Boateng produced a masterclass double save to deny the Porcupine Warriors the equalizer with eight minutes to go.
