Kotoko pip Accra Lions to go top

Kumasi As­ante Kotoko overtook Medeama SC to the top of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) after de­feating Accra Lions at the Obua­si Len Clay Stadium yesterday.

Kotoko share the top spot jointly with Goldstars on 11 points as the previous leaders dropped to third with an out­standing game.

The only goal of the game was scored by Albert Amoah in the 48th minute.

Amoah, who joined this sea­son from Accra Great Olympics, got to the end of a decent pass from Dauda Saaka to shake the net of the visitors.

The Lions attempted to fight back but Kotoko’s defence was equal to the task as they thwart­ed their efforts with composed defending.

Kotoko dominated the game for greater spells but failed to threaten at important areas as the Lions kept the numbers at the back and looked for openings to break but were unsuccessful.
