ALL STARS, KOTOKO DRAW (BACK PAGE) JAN 19

A 75th minute header from Stephen Manu eased the pressure off Kumasi Asante Kotoko as they managed to hold Wa All Stars 1-1 in their seventh week Glo Premier League match played at the Wa stadium yesterday.
Kotoko, who are struggling to defend the league title they won last season, could hardly string their passes together and in many instances passed the ball to their opponents.
With much of the ball being played in midfield for a greater part of the match, the two teams held each other in check until the 21st minute when slippery Issah Salihu of All Stars was brought down in the Kotoko 18 yard box. The resultant spot kick was beautifully converted by Daniel Bomfah.
Kotoko reorganised themselves and made some incursions into the area of All Stars. One of such attacks saw Louis Quainoo’s shot being connected with a header by Stephen Manu for the equaliser.
