Asante Kotoko dropped all three points in a very closely contested encounter, falling to Nsoatreman FC by a single goal..
After defeating Asante Kotoko, the top-seeded team in the Ghana Premier League [GPL], Nsoatreman FC takes the top slot. In the 39th minute of this fascinating and enthralling game, Stephen Diyou, who is always threatening, scored the goal..
Many Kotoko supporters have publicly criticized the game, saying that the left winger’s off-side status should have led to the goal being called back. Even after the players and supporters of Asante Kotoko protested, the referee declined to overturn the goal, and the devoted supporters of the team claimed the entire incident was staged against Asante Kotoko.
Asante Kotoko is expected to pull off one of their storied comebacks in this game, but fate was not on their side as their problems appeared to be just getting started three minutes after the goal when newly signed center-back Henry Ansu received his second yellow of the game and was sent off with a red card, leaving Asante Kotoko with ten players left to fend off Nsoatreman FC and find a way to equalize as well. Although they are able to prevent Nsoatreman from scoring any more goals, they are unable to obtain an equalizer or a point from the game.
With a game remaining and 16 points from seven games, Maxwell Kunadu’s Nsoatreman FC is relishing the rewards of his labor as they take pride in their position atop the GPL standings, one point ahead of Aduana Stars.
As coach Prosper Nartey Ogum goes back to the drawing board in an attempt to get the win the club has been searching for over the last three games, Asante Kotoko, on the other hand, are ending this game week in ninth place with ten points.
