Kotoko held to a 1-1 draw against Hasaacas in Sekondi

The ‘Giants of the West’ settled for a 1-1 draw against the Porcupine Warriors at Sekondi on Sunday

The first half was an end to end action, but it was Kotoko who were slightly dominant in the half.

The goalkeepers for either side exhibited fabulous goalkeeping to deny their opponent from scoring. Felix Annan blocked a one on one situation, and also produced a magnificent save from an Hasaacas attacker. Dauda Mohammed Eric Donkor also called the veteran goalkeeper George Owu to duty, and he equally lived up to the billing save the Kumasi outfit from hitting the back of the net.

Sekondi Hasaacas started the second half strongly by putting Asante Kotoko under intense pressure and once again Felix Annan stood tall to save several opportunities that came the way of the hosts: he blocked a one on one against Duncan and also produced several other saves.

Kotoko also came into the game from the 70th minute. However, it was Hasaacas who found the back of the net against the run of play in the 74th minute. Amos Frimpong’s header found onrushing Samuel Afful, who lobbed the ball over Felix Annan in the 74th minute to give the hosts the lead.

The visitors restored parity in the 79th minute when Amos Frimpong finished off from the spot kick. Kwame Boateng’s ball was handled by an Hasaacas defender and Amos Frimpong, who has developed a nitch for himself in recent times as a penalty expert put George Owu to the wrong direction to cancel out the lead in the 79th minute.

The Porcupine Warriors after the goal exerted pressure on Hasaacas and could have earned a second penalty kick, but the Referee Awal Mohammed overlooked a handball incident

Asante Kotoko are still undefeated against Hasaacas in the Ghana Premier League.
