Kotoko return to Baba Yara Sports Stadium
Asante Kotoko finally returned to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium after quite a long time away from home. The Porcupine Warriors’ last outing at the stadium was back in February 16, 2020, when they played out a goalless draw with AshantiGold in the truncated 2019/20 season.
After 629 days Kotoko made a return to the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. The Porcupines did not only return to their favourite venue but gave their fans something to cheer about.
Prosper Narteh's Kotoko beat stubborn Bechem United 2-0 on Sunday. The Hunters for the majority of the gave proved a difficult nut to crack for the Porcupines.
But the Reds finally found their way to breach the defence of Becehm in the dying embers of the game, scoring late goals from Ismael Ganiu and Samuel Boateng.
The win has seen Kotoko go top of the league.
Hearts of Oak yet to pick a win
Meanwhile, Hearts of Oak title defence has not had the best of starts to the season. The Ghana Premier League champions are winless after the opening two games.
