Match Report: Legon Cities hold defending champions Asante Kotoko in Kumasi

Legon Cities held Asante Kotoko to a pulsating 1-1 draw in their matchday seven encounter at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Kotoko’s Ugandan import, Steven Mukwala fetched the first goal of the match in the 15th minute but their lead was cancelled in the 51st minute by Sadat Mohammed.

The Porcupines who defeated Medeama in Tarkwa last Thursday started on a brighter note, pinning the visitors to their own half but failed to make their early dominance count before Mukwala was fouled in the 18-yard box for the penalty.

As the game progressed, Legon Cities warmed themselves into the game and made some dangerous incursions into Kotoko’s vital area.

The two teams created few decent chances throughout the first half but went into recess with the Porcupines leading by a lone goal.

The visitors came back into the game strongly in the second half and as nimble-footed Jonah Attuquaye tormented the defence of Kotoko with so much ease.

The visitors’ efforts would pay off in the 51st minute when Sadat Mohammed scored the equaliser.

The rest of the became an end to end action as both sides searched for the winning goal which never came until the referee ended the match.
