  "account": "Asante Kotoko's poor performances in the Ghana Premier League continued with their latest defeat against Berekum Chelsea. The Porcupine Warriors suffered a 2-1 loss on matchday 10 despite taking the lead in the 59th minute. Inusah Adam scored from the penalty spot, giving Kotoko the advantage after a foul in Chelsea's box. However, the game took a dramatic turn when Zakaria Fuseini equalized for Chelsea in the 65th minute. Despite a late effort by Yussif Bayanalabe to put the Porcupine Warriors ahead, Chelsea secured the win with a final goal in the late stages of the match. This loss comes after Berekum Chelsea's own defeat of Aduana FC and Kotoko's draw with Medeama SC in their previous matches. As a result, Kotoko now has two losses and three draws in their five away games this season, continuing their quest for the first away win of the 2026/27 season. The result also sees Kotoko in 10th place with 13 points, while Berekum Chelsea climb to ninth with 14 points. Kotoko aims to turn the tide when they host GoldStars on matchday 11, while Chelsea heads to Swedru to face All Blacks.",
