Asante Kotoko secured a late 1-1 draw against Karela United at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday after whizz-kid Baba Yahaya scored his maiden goal to save the porcupines from home humiliation in Match Day three of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League.
A defeat was starring at the porcupines until substitute Baba Yahaya scored the equaliser deep into stoppage time to rescue a point for Coach Ogum and his men.
The goal, coupled with his fantastic display of football also won him the Man of the Match award on the day.
Asante Kotoko fell behind after just nine minutes when their former player, Evans Adomako, capitalized on their sluggish defending on the day. Adomako took advantage of Henry Ansu’s defensive error, curling the ball past captain Ibrahim Danlad to give the visitors the lead
This result leaves the Porcupine Warriors without a win this season, and they currently occupy the second-to-last position in the league standings with two points.
Asante Kotoko will face Accra Lions as guests on Saturday, October 7, in match week three of the Ghana Premier League, while Karela United is set to host Accra Great Olympics at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 8.
