Asante Kotoko remain the only unbeaten side in the Ghana Premier League after fighting back to secure a 1-1 draw against Aduana FC at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday.
Aduana took the lead in the 6th minute when Emmanuel Marfo reacted quickest to a rebound, finishing after goalkeeper Dari Aziz failed to hold an initial effort. With first-choice goalkeeper Mohammed Camara away on international duty with Guinea, the Porcupine Warriors were forced to rely on their deputy, and Aduana made the most of the early opening.
Kotoko grew stronger as the game progressed and eventually levelled through a moment of pure quality. Lord Amoah struck a sensational effort that flew straight into the net, sparking loud celebrations and shifting momentum in favour of the hosts.
Both sides pushed for a winner after the break, creating promising chances, but neither found the cutting edge required to secure all three points.
The draw extends Kotoko’s unbeaten run, keeping them sixth on the table with two outstanding matches still to play. Aduana, despite stretching their own unbeaten streak to six games, slip from first to third after dropping points in Kumasi.
Kotoko, now with back-to-back draws, will hope to return to winning ways when they face Young Apostles in midweek.
