Asante Kotoko got back to level pegging with Hearts of Oak at the summit of the Ghana Premier League after beating Inter Allies FC on Monday.
The Fabulous club recorded a 3-2 victory over the relegation threatened side to keep their title hopes intact.
Evans Adomako and Andrews Kwadwo Appau scored their maiden goals in the league for Kotoko to ensure they claim all three points.
Mariano Barreto made three changes to the Kotoko squad that pipped AshantiGold SC 1-0 in the Ashanti derby last week in Obuasi.
Habib Mohammed returned from suspension, with Razak Abalora and Abdul Ganiu Ismail who returned from the Black Stars camp to earn starting places for the Porcupine Warriors.
Striker Adomako was handed his first start in the Red shirt.
Kotoko opened the scoring in the 26th minute after Emmanuel Gyamfi connecting a headed pass from Adomako.
Allies levelled matters in the 39th minute when Alex Aso scored from close range after he was set up by Nafiu Sulemana.
Adomako restored Kotoko’s lead with three minutes to halftime, as Gyamfi turned the provider with a low cross from the left to set him up.
Allies levelled again in the 63rd minute through Okpe but that didn’t last long as the Porcupine Warriors got their noses in front once more in the 71st minute.
Young defender Appau connected a pass from Brazilian playmaker Fabio Gama dos Santos to slot in the match winner.
Kotoko are now on 53 points with only goals difference separating them and the Phobians. Credit: ghanasoccernet.com
