Determination helped us defeat Wa All Stars – Kotoko

Asante Kotoko assistant coach Michael Osei says their 1-0 win over Wa All Stars at the Baba Yara Stadium on Wednesday was down to 'determination and character'.

The visitors have been solid on the road this season and they were at their stubborn best in the first half against the Porcupine Warriors.

However, Amos Frimpong found the net in the second to give the Reds three points to move them up to second place on 30 points.

Osei stated after the match that they did not want to lose the match and they worked to ensure that. “We knew it was going to be a tough encounter against the league leaders but we were disciplined in our tactical play. We were determined and we went into the match with a lot of character.

I congratulate the players for playing well.” Despite the result, Wa All Stars stay top of the league table with 31 points. Liberty hold Hearts as AshGold, Aduana and Berekum Chelsea all win Hearts of Oak slipped to third on the league table after drawing 1-1 with Liberty Professionals.

Alfred Arthur got the equaliser for Liberty after Cosmos Dauda put the Phobians into the lead. Defending champions AshantiGold beat Techiman City 2-0 thanks to goals from Shafiu Mumuni. Berekum Chelsea got a 2-0 win over Inter Allies with goals coming from Sadick Adams and Nana Tei Horsu.

Dreams FC's 2-0 win over New Edubiase would have been routine but they got the headlines after one of the goals was scored by their goalkeeper Philemon McCarthy. Eric Gawu got the other strike on target.

Former league champions Aduana Stars were the round's biggest winners after putting three unanswered goals past Ebusua Dwarfs.

Yahaya Mohammed opened the scoring to get his 12th goal of the season, Zakaria Mumuni and Samuel Adams scored the other two. Hasaacas and Bechem United will face each other on Thursday.
