Asante Kotoko clinched a dramatic 1-0 victory over Hearts of Oak at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday, extending their dominance over their bitter rivals.
The win marked Kotoko’s third consecutive league triumph against the Phobians and their fourth victory in all competitions, including a 2-1 win in the pre-season Democracy Cup.
Albert Amoah emerged as the hero once again, scoring his seventh goal of the season in the dying moments of the match. The decisive goal came after a defensive blunder involving Hearts defender Kelvin Osei Asibey and goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, allowing Amoah to pounce and secure all three points for Kotoko.
The late winner capped off a tense and evenly contested game that seemed destined for a stalemate until the injury-time drama unfolded. Prosper Ogum, the architect behind Kotoko’s recent successes against Hearts, once again showcased his tactical acumen, utilizing discipline and seizing key moments to outmaneuver his opponents.
With this victory, Kotoko move up to sixth place on the league table, pushing Hearts down to seventh. The Porcupine Warriors will look to build on this momentum as they aim for a strong finish to the season under Ogum’s leadership.
