Brazilian midfielder Fabio Gama scored his third goal of the season as he helped Asante Kotoko pip Ashanti Gold 1-0 in the Ghana Premier League derby.
Fabio Gama’s first-half header in the 23rd minute proved decisive in the matchday 28 fixture in Obuasi, as it takes the Porcupine Warriors to second position in a tie with arch-rivals Hearts of Oak who have a greater goal difference.
Ashanti Gold started the game on the front foot and had the first opening in the 7th minute but goalkeeper Kwame Baah denied the miners.
Kotoko also struck the frame of the post with a free kick from Patrick Asmah from outside the penalty area.
The porcupine warriors thought they had scored the second goal after a well-taken free-kick from Emmanuel Keyekeh but was tipped behind by goalie Kofi Mensah.
Not much changed during the second half with Yaw Anorl guilty of missing an open goal as he skied the ball high and wide to the surprise of everyone in the stadium.
