Asante Kotoko clawed their way to a late, hard-earned win on Wednesday, overcoming Young Apostles in a gripping Premier League contest.
The Porcupine Warriors entered the fixture determined to shake off the frustration of last weekend’s 1–1 draw with Aduana FC in Kumasi, and their early urgency showed.
Kotoko controlled long spells of the opening half but couldn’t convert their dominance into a breakthrough.
The game sprang to life after the interval. Hubert Gyau broke the deadlock in the 51st minute, only for Richmond Opoku to restore parity almost immediately, punishing a momentary lapse in the Kotoko defence.
Just when the match seemed destined to finish level, Kotoko were awarded a penalty deep into stoppage time.
Captain Ndongani Samba Gilbani stepped up with composure, wrong-footing the goalkeeper to seal a dramatic victory.
The win pushes Kotoko up to fourth with 19 points and maintains their unbeaten start to the campaign.
Karim Zito’s men now shift focus to Sunday’s Matchday 11 visit to FC Samartex at the Nsenkyire Arena, where they will aim to extend their momentum.
