Kumasi Asante Kotoko on Sunday put up a spirited performance to beat arch rival Accra Hearts of Oak 2-1 to secure all the three points at stake in Ghana’s premier league.
Guinean Naby Keita scored a 90th-minute penalty as Asante Kotoko claimed a 2-1 victory when the match appeared to be heading to a dour 1-1 draw.
Joseph Esso had cancelled out Justice Blay’s early strike for the Porcupine Warriors.
Officiating referee Emmanuel Eshun awarded Kotoko an 88th-minute penalty following a handball by Hearts of Oak defender which Keita stepped up and converted to give Kotoko three points in Day Six of the premier league.
Kotoko have a good record at home to Hearts of Oak.
