Asante Kotoko moved up to second on the table after securing a Boxing Day victory against their head coach Prosper Narteh Ogum’s former club WAFA in Kumasi.
Richmond Lamptey scored the decisive goal in the 58th minute to give Kotoko a deserved 1-0 victory at the Baba Yara Stadium.
Kotoko were by far the better side, and after hitting the post in the early stages, they were awarded a penalty.
The decision was, however, rightly reversed as Kotoko ended the first half without a goal despite their dominance.
But it was a different story in the second as their dominance got rewarded. Lamptey put the ball in the net from close range after his first shot was blocked.
The victory takes them level on points with leaders King Faisal who suffered defeat away from home against Bechem United.
