Aduana Stars 1-1 Asante Kotoko – A Point Earned in the Porcupine Hive
In the weekend’s marquee fixture, unbeaten Asante Kotoko hosted league leaders Aduana Stars at a raucous Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon, drawing a crowd of over 25,000 for this top-of-the-table showdown.
The Porcupines, chasing their first major silverware since 2021, entered the game on a three-match unbeaten streak but were tested by Aduana’s clinical finishing.
The game exploded into life early when Aduana’s Emmanuel Marfo pounced on a loose rebound from Kotoko goalkeeper Aziz Dari’s parry in the 6th minute, slotting home to send the traveling Fire Dance fans into ecstasy.
Aduana, under coach Cioba Aristica, dominated possession in the first half, creating chances through quick transitions led by midfielder Richard Arthur. However, Kotoko’s resilience shone through, and just before the break in the 45th+2 minute, Lord Amoah unleashed a thunderous long-range strike from 30 yards – a screamer into the net, leveling the scores and igniting the home crowd.
The draw extends Aduana’s unbeaten run to six matches while Kotoko record back-to-back draws after 1-0 Super Clash last weekend.
