Asante Kotoko midfielder Mudasiru Salifu has heaped praise on his teammates following their goalless draw against Karela United in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

"The resilient from this team, top-notch," he wrote on Twitter after the game.

Karela were dominant and had the best opportunities in the first half but Kotoko defended gallantly to keep their unbeaten run unscathed.

Asante Kotoko midfielder Richard Boadu received the marching orders in the 63rd minute after he was sent off for a poor challenge.

Goalkeeper Razak Abalora yet again delivered a superb display with some fantastic saves to deny Karela United. Abalora pulled a match-winning save in the 85th minute to deny the home side victory.

The former WAFA shot-stopper has been in excellent form all season having kept them in games against Bibiani Gold Stars and Eleven Wonders.

The Porcupine Warriors fought hard to hold on to the game for a draw – Karela United’s first point at home against Asante Kotoko since they gained promotion to the Premier League in 2018.

With the result, Kotoko stay on top of the table, three more points ahead of second-placed King Faisal who drew 0-0 with Medeama SC in Kumasi.
