Asante Kotoko displayed impressive fighting spirit on Thursday evening when the team fought with 10 men to come from a goal down to earn a crucial point from the game against Karela United.
The Porcupine Warriors club today hosted the opponent from Anyinase at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium confident about securing a positive result.
Today’s contest served as a matchday 22 encounter of the ongoing 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season.
Unfortunately for Asante Kotoko, the team was reduced to 10 men in the early parts of the first half when captain Abdul Ismail Ganiu was shown a red card.
Subsequently, Karela United capitalised on the man advantage and scored through winger Kelvin Andoh in the 36th minute to take the lead.
