Match Report: Brilliant Bechem United hands Asante Kotoko first defeat of the season

Bechem United at the Nana Fosu-Gyeabour Park on Thursday afternoon defeated Asante Kotoko 2-0 in an outstanding matchweek 1 fixture in the betPawa Premier League.

The Porcupines were given a good match by a plucky Hunters side who had Avornyo as a chief tormentor as he caused a lot of troubles for the Kotoko shaky defence.

The Hunters opened the scoring 23 minutes into the game through Kofi Agbesimah from the spot to end the first department.

While Asante Kotoko would play well in the second half, the efforts of the team to get a goal to restore parity did not materialise.

Unfortunately, the team conceded again in the 63^rd minute as the chances of the visitors grabbing a point became much slimmer.

The goal scored by Emmanuel Avornyo sealed a 2-0 victory for Bechem United to make it two wins in the last five days.

The win has seen Bechem United climb to 8^th on the Ghana Premier League table while Kotoko stays in the 5^th spot.
