Asante Kotoko secured a 2-1 victory over Heart of Lions in the Ghana Premier League match at Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday. Coach Eric Tinkler aimed to make the home ground a tough place for opponents to conquer after a recent draw against Debibi United. The Porcupine Warriors started strongly, taking an early lead in the 27th minute through Emmanuel Mamah's goal.
Patrick Asiedu provided a crucial cross for Mamah to capitalize on. Despite a late penalty attempt by Heart of Lions, Marcus Opoku Agyemang doubled Kotoko's advantage in the 62nd minute with a tap-in. Although the visitors saw a man sent off, Kotoko maintained control and emerged victorious. Tinkler praised his team's performance, noting it as their first league win since the opening weekend.
