In a highly anticipated clash in the Ghana Premier League, Nsoatreman claimed the top spot by triumphing 1-0 over Asante Kotoko in a thrilling encounter held in Nsuatre. This remarkable victory, masterminded by former Kotoko coach Maxwell Konadu, not only earned Nsoatreman all three crucial points but also solidified their exceptional start to the season.
Nsoatreman now stands proudly at the summit of the league table, holding a one-point lead over second-placed Aduana FC, with an additional game in hand, signaling their intention to dominate the season.
For Asante Kotoko, who had been searching for their first win since their triumph over Aduana FC on October 13 at home, overcoming Nsoatreman proved to be a formidable challenge. Matters worsened when they were reduced to 10 players just before halftime, as defender Henry Ansu received his second yellow card and was sent off, leaving Nsoatreman in control in front of their passionate home crowd.
The match’s decisive moment came in the 41st minute when forward Stephen Diyou found the back of the net. Despite vehement protests from Kotoko, claiming an offside position, the goal was allowed to stand, securing Nsoatreman’s claim to the league’s summit.
Nsoatreman’s impressive victory has set the stage for an exhilarating season in the Ghana Premier League, as they aim to maintain their position at the top and Kotoko seeks to bounce back from this challenging defeat.
