The highly anticipated Ghana Premier League clash lived up to its billing as both sides created chances in a barren first half. Amoah came close to putting Kotoko ahead but hesitated at the crucial moment, allowing the Chelsea goalkeeper to collect the ball from his feet.

The home side also threatened, with their intricate passing move inside Kotoko’s 18-yard box ending in a strike that rattled the post before Kotoko’s goalkeeper Canara smothered the rebound.

Kotoko returned from the break with renewed intensity after head coach Abdul Karim Zito reshuffled his midfield, introducing Hubert Gyau—signed from Berekum Chelsea—and Walid Neymar Fuseini. The tactical changes paid off as Kotoko took control of the game.

The breakthrough came in the 69th minute when substitute Gyau slipped a clever pass to Amoah, who calmly slotted the ball between the legs of Chelsea’s onrushing goalkeeper to put the Porcupine Warriors ahead.

Berekum Chelsea responded with quick substitutions of their own but could not equalise. Kotoko stood firm to record a famous 1–0 victory, breaking the 15-year jinx of failing to win at the Golden City Park.

The match which was live on all the Media General platforms saw both teams entertaining their supporters but Berekum Chelsea fans went home disappointed.
