A rejuvenated Kumasi Asante Kotoko side yesterday defeated Wa All Stars 2-0 at the Wa , thanks to a brace by former All Stars marksman, Nathaniel Amoah, in the 30th and the 88th minutes.
Parading three former players of their opponents — Asamoah, Sabato Mohammed and Fatau Mohammed — Kotoko matched the home side in all departments of the game right from the blast of FIFA referee Mercy Tagoe’s whistle, and the visitors’ effort paid off in the 30th minute when Mohammed took on two All Stars defenders and laid a pass for Asamoah to shoot past onrushing All Stars goalkeeper Robert Dabuo to break the deadlock.
The stadium went dead silent after the opening goal but All Stars coach Maxwell Konadu reorganised his team and they subsequently pinned Kotoko to their own half to end of the first session.
After recess, All Stars continuing with their onslaught, reduced Kotoko’s midfield efficiency but lanky Awal Mohammed was unyielding in the heart of the Kotoko defence to thwart efforts by the home side.
Such was the trend until the 88th minute when a counter-attack by Kotoko saw midfielder Daniel Nii Adjei rounding up goalkeeper Livingstone Logoh in the All Stars penalty box who passed the ball to Asamoah to fire home his second goal.
