Asante Kotoko extended their lead on top of the Ghana Premier League after posting a 2-1 win over Bechem United on Sunday.
The champions exacted revenge on the Premier League new boy’s courtesy a brace from striker Abdul Aziz Yusif at the Baba Yara Stadium. Striker Abdul Aziz Yusif struck in the 32nd minute to hand Mas-Ud Dramani’s side into the lead which they took into recess.
The Porcupine Warriors almost threw away the game when Bobie Ansah conceded a penalty in 62nd minute after fouling Augustine Okrah. Okrah picked himself up to score from the spot to become the leading goal-scorer in the Ghanaian top flight with 11 goals. The champions however responded instantly with Yusif scoring again.
