The Ghanaian Times reports that the late goal left the Porcupine family devastated, as they had no chance to equalize before the final whistle. Coming off a narrow win over Karela United in the previous match, Kotoko entered the game with confidence, but All Blacks proved to be a formidable opponent. While both teams exchanged chances, Kotoko's defense held strong. However, Asante Kotoko's Patrick Asiedu conceded a penalty late in injury time after fouling Baah Junior inside the box. Swedru's composure in front of goal paid off, as Darkwah converted the spot kick to hand All Blacks a vital win. The victory marked Swedru's second in their opening six matches of the 2026/27 season, providing a much-needed boost for their campaign. Despite the loss, Kotoko remains level on points with All Blacks in the league standings, leaving both teams eager to regroup and gain momentum in their upcoming fixtures.",
