However, it was Kotoko striker Steven Mukwala who emerged as the game-changer, scoring the decisive goal in the 40th minute.

Although Mukwala’s initial shot was mishit, his determination prevailed as he followed up on the ball, poking it into the net from close range.

Securing their third consecutive victory, Asante Kotoko is steadily recovering ground in the league. Their upcoming match against long-standing rivals Hearts of Oak poses a challenging test.

On the other hand, Berekum Chelsea maintains their 6th position with 20 points, holding a slim one-point advantage over Asante Kotoko.

Their focus now shifts to rebounding from this narrow defeat when they go head-to-head against Great Olympics in their upcoming fixture.
