Asante Kotoko Secure 2-0 Win Over Aduana Stars to End Four-Match Losing Streak
- Asante Kotoko recorded their first win in five games after beating Aduana Stars at Dormaa
- Red-faced Prosper Ogum’s men have lost four straight matches on a roll and were looking forward to bounce back
- Two goals from Patrick Asiedu and Albert Amoah were enough to hand victory to the Porcupine Warriors
Kumasi Asante Kotoko snapped their four-game losing streak in style with a dominant 2-0 victory over Aduana FC at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park on Sunday.
Patrick Asiedu set the tone early, breaking the deadlock in the 10th minute with a spectacular free-kick that ricocheted off the underside of the crossbar and into the net.

The goal brought relief to Kotoko fans and saw Asiedu sprinting to the touchline to celebrate with under-pressure head coach Prosper Ogum.
Albert Amoah doubled the lead on the hour mark, marking his return from injury with a composed finish.
The forward was perfectly positioned to tap in a cross, ensuring Kotoko claimed all three points.
The match, however, was marred by controversy, as the second half was delayed due to an alleged invasion of Aduana fans into the match officials’ dressing room. Tensions flared, but play eventually resumed under heightened security measures.
With this win, Kotoko climbs to seventh on the league table with 18 points from 12 matches. Meanwhile, Aduana Stars remain in 14th place with 12 points, continuing their struggles this season.
The victory could serve as a turning point for Prosper Ogum and his team as they look to regain momentum and ascend the league standings.
Kotoko ready for Hearts encounter
Following their hard-fought victory in Dormaa, former Kotoko forward Mark Adu Amofa believes the win was crucial for boosting the team's confidence ahead of their clash with Hearts of Oak next Sunday.
“Kotoko needed this win badly to lift their morale,” Amofa told YEN.com.gh.
“It’s a result that will give them the belief and momentum they need going into such an important game.”
The victory serves as a timely boost for Kotoko as they prepare for one of the most anticipated fixtures on the Ghanaian football calendar.
Kotoko legend demands coach's sack
In a related report, YEN.com.gh shared that Asante Kotoko legend Charles Taylor has called for the immediate dismissal of head coach Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum amid the team’s recent poor form.
The Porcupine Warriors have dropped out of the top four in the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League after enduring four consecutive losses.
