Kotoko suffer late defeat to Berekum Chelsea as away win drought continues

Asante Kotoko endured a disappointing 2-1 loss to Berekum Chelsea in the Ghana Premier League. The home side claimed the lead in the 59th minute following a penalty awarded after Opoku was fouled in the box, with Inusah Adams converting the spot-kick. However, Zakaria Fuseini equalized for Berekum Chelsea in the 64th minute. Yussif Bayanalabe sealed the victory for the visitors in the 90th minute, marking a continuation of Berekum Chelsea's recent struggles as they lost their previous match 2-0 to Aduana FC.

Kotoko had previously drawn 2-2 at home against Medeama SC, leaving them with a poor record of two defeats and three draws in their five away matches this season. The team has yet to secure an away win in the ongoing campaign, with their last triumph dating back to March 21, 2026. Asante Kotoko currently sit in 10th position in the league standings with 13 points, while Berekum Chelsea climb to ninth place with 14 points.

Kotoko aims to turn their fortunes around when they host Gold Stars in Week 11, while Berekum Chelsea travel to Swedru for an upcoming fixture against All Blacks.
