The first game between them in all competitions was the final of the 1958 FA Cup. Asante Kotoko stormed Accra and walloped their bitterest rivals Hearts of Oak 4-2 to win the maiden contest on March 30, 1958.
But the first league encounter between them came in 1958. The Phobians won 4-2 but it was replayed because the game ended abruptly and once again the Accra based side thrashed the Porcupine Warriors by 5 goals to 2 at the Kumasi Jackson Park, now the Jubilee Park.
