- Justice Blay converted an 18th-minute penalty to give Kotoko an early lead

- Kwame Poku sealed the win with a brilliant 74th-minute goal, keeping Kotoko’s winning streak alive
Asante Kotoko continued their impressive run with a commanding 2-0 triumph over Bibiani GoldStars on Friday night at the Baba Yara Stadium in a Matchday 15 encounter.
Captain Justice Blay set the tone early, coolly converting an 18th-minute penalty after a handball incident in the box. The Porcupine Warriors maintained relentless pressure, and GoldStars’ woes deepened when Bright Boakye Kyereh was shown a red card in the 36th minute for a reckless challenge.
Kwame Poku stole the spotlight in the second half, securing the win with a stunning 74th-minute strike, adding to his earlier near-miss with a flying header. Samba Oniel’s standout performance earned him the Man of the Match accolade.
The victory, Kotoko’s fourth in a row, propels them to second place on the league table with 27 points, as they prepare for a high-stakes showdown against Medeama SC in Matchday 16.
