Kumasi Asante Kotoko started their post-Maxwell Konadu era with a vital 1-0 victory over Dreams FC at the Theatre of Dreams in Dawu on Sunday.
Kotoko, who sacked their head coach, Maxwell Konadu, on Friday 18th December 2020, got the only goal of the game through left back Ibrahim Moro, who finished off a rebound with a brilliant strike from inside the box. The result now leaves Kotoko in 8th place.
Accra Hearts of Oak recorded their second victory of the season with a 2-1 win over King Faisal on Saturday. Benjamin Afutu put the visitors ahead in the 20th minute from close range before Wadudu Yakubu put the home team on level terms in the 50th minute. Hearts of Oak were awarded a late penalty after Pius Baffour Awuah handled the ball in the box with just a minute to the end of regulation time. Umar Manaf stepped up to score from the resultant penalty to give the visitors a 2-1 victory.
