Prosper Narteh Ogum's dream start to his Asante Kotoko reign continued with a third win in 3 matches after sneaking past Bibiani Gold Stars on Thursday all thanks to Isaac Oppong's strike.
The attacker's second-half strike on 55th minute on matchday 3 at the Dun's Park separated the two sides as the Porcupines pick up a 1-0 win, their third of the season.

The goal is Isaac Oppong's second and has three assists in the Ghana Premier League so far.
The win has seen Kotoko open up a temporarily 3-point gap at the top as the rest of the Ghana Premier League continues this weekend.
Ahead of the match Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Babiani Gold Stars and the club's captain have been bragging about how they will put Kotoko to the sword.
According to Akwesi Adu, despite being a newly promoted side they will not be overawed by the sizes of the Porcupines.
"Everyone who follows Ghana football should check Gold Stars records against the big clubs, we hardly lose," he told Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
"Gold Stars can't be overshadowed by Kotoko come Friday at Dun’s Park, we are going to match them and I can assure you that, Gold Stars are going to pick all 3 points.
Club captain Zia Hul Haqq Yakubu also said they would pick up the maximum points.
"We'll say we've started it well as compared to other clubs that gained promotion to the GPL from Division One."
"We've four points out of six. Looking at Asante Kotoko, they're a big club and we give them that respect but individually we are equal on the field of play."
"This match will be tough and we hoping to snatch all three points. Our supporters need the points and getting it will help us so much in the season."
However, the newly-promoted side couldn't walk the talk as the Porcupines showed them they are not their co-equal.
