Kotoko stretch lead

Kumasi Asante Kotoko Sunday opened  a 10-point gap between them and arch-rivals Accra Hearts of Oak in the First Capital Plus Premier League after defeating visiting Cape Coast Dwarfs 2-1 in their outstanding match at the Baba Yara stadium.

With a resolve  to appease their fans following their exit from this year’s Champions League, the Porcupine Warriors  played with zeal and cohesion and got the desired results.

Both goals came in the first half through Abdul Aziz Yusif (16th minute) and Small Boy Cobbah on 24th minute.

Though Kotoko won the match, the margin could have been wider  had they converted the chances that came their way especially in the first half.

Dwarfs pulled a goal back on 62nd minute through Richard Gadze.
