Obuasi Ashgold avenged the lone goal defeat suffered at the hands of visiting Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the first round of the OneTouch Premier League when they pipped the 'Porcupine Warriors' in their 19th Week league match at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on Sunday. Ashgold have by the victory dislodged Kotoko from the second position of the league table with 33 points, and only a point behind leaders, Accra Hearts of Oak who drew in their match against Tano Bofoakwa. Kotoko have lost four league games out of five in recent weeks and the Sunday defeat is set to give them a lot more puzzles. After more than an hour of an action-packed game, it was the Miners who managed to score the only goal of the day in the 87th minute through their youngster Opoku Agyemang. Agyemang's goal came through the individual efforts of Shaibu Yakubu who fell deep into midfield and raced into the Kotoko defence area to round up two defenders before crossing the ball to Agyemang who made no mistake with a lob over keeper Isaac Amoako. But for the extra defensive work by newly signed on player Isaac Vorsah and experienced Dan Acquah, Agyemang who was a thorn in the flesh of the Kotoko defence would have added more goals for his side. The nimble-footed striker was earlier brought down by Vorsah in the 51st minute in the penalty box only for referee Samuel Gyasi of Suhum to ignore and wave play on. The striker was again presented with a golden opportunity ten minutes later but he failed to convert the chance as he allowed Acquah to clear the chance. Kotoko, who played a determined game in an effort to save their dented image, also had many scoring chances but the strikers could not convert them with the best chance falling to John Cudjoe in the 35th minute only for the striker to shoot feebly into the hands of keeper Fatau Dauda.
