Kumasi Asante Kotoko SC recorded their first win of the season after beating Legon Cities FC by a lone goal at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday evening.
The Porcupine Warriors shot themselves in front early in the game when former Asokwa Deportivo SC striker, Osman Ibrahim latched onto a loose ball in the box to put the hosts 1-0 up following a cornerkick.
Midfielder Kwame Adom Frimpong and goalscorer Ibrahim Osman were both subbed off in the first half due to injuries and were replaced by Sulley Muniru and Evans Adomako respectively.
Legon Cities FC striker, David Ocloo had numerous chances to restore parity for the Royals but fluffed his lines and failed to make amends for the Money Bags.
Experienced forward, Asamoah Gyan was brought on in the 60th minute to replace Ocloo but his presence could not bring a goal for the Cities team who are struggling for goals though Legon Cities general play was lifted after the all-time Ghana top scorer stepped onto the pitch.
Asante Kotoko held on their early lead and won the game by a lone goal to secure their first win of the season in three games after drawing their opening two games.
Legon Cities FC on the other hand are winless in five games and have conceded five goals, loosing two games with three drawn matches so far.
