Match Report: Legon Cities 0-1 Asante; Okrah scores winner as Asante Kotoko reclaim top spot
Augustine Okrah scored his first goal of the season to help Asante Kotoko beat Legon Cities on Saturday; a result that sends the Porcupine Warriors back on top of the league log.
Legon Cities entertained the Porcupine Warriors in a crucial Match Week 22 fixture of the ongoing Ghana Premier League season.
The Royals who are battling for survival needed the maximum points to help their fight to beat the drop.
On the other hand, Asante Kotoko who entered the game on the back of a defeat to Medeama last week, needed a result to reassure themselves of their title credentials.
Kotoko Coach Mariano Barreto made two changes to his lineup from the Medeama game. Christopher Nettey and Mudasiru Salifu came in for Samuel Frimpong and Emmanuel Sarkodie for the game.
Star performer Fabio Gama kept his place in the team while Legon Cities Head Coach Bashir Hayford also handed starts to star men Hans Kwoffie and Victorian Adje Adebayor.
Asante Kotoko took the lead in the first half when Fabio Gama’s free kick from the left was beautifully flicked into the net by Augustine Okrah.
