2021/22 Ghana Premier League matchday 16: Kotoko waste last-minute penalty as Elmina Sharks secure 2-1 win

Asante Kotoko attacker Frank Etouga squandered a last-minute penalty kick on Monday afternoon as the side was beaten 2-1 by struggling Elmina Sharks.

Nicknamed the Porcupine Warriors, the team from Kumasi today played as a guest to the matchday 16 opponent of the ongoing Ghana Premier League season at the Papa Kwasi Nduom Stadium.

In a game that kicked off at 15:00GMT, the Reds started very well as the home team struggled to contain the pressure it mounted.

Eventually, in the 38^th minute, Asante Kotoko took the lead when winger Dickson Afoakwa tapped in from close range.

Unfortunately, a red card to defender Imoro Ibrahim changed the game with Elmina Sharks scoring twice through Ebenezer Adu Kwaw and Alhaji Mustapha in the 43^rd and 52^nd minutes respectively.

The goals helped the home team to come from behind to secure a massive 2-1 win to push the side in the efforts to escape relegation.
