As such, the teams took each other on in the first half with a player less than they could have on the pitch.

Aduana dominated the first half but failed to break Kotoko. The had plenty of set pieces in advantageous positions but could not trouble the Kotoko goalkeeper Kwame Baah.

The Porcupine Warriors failed to produce anything meaningful as their play were limited to defending deep and relying on counter-attacks.

Aduana returned to the second half with the same ambition of winning.

Few minutes later, defender Bioh went past two Kotoko players before unleashing a low drive into the net to send Dormaa into a frenzy.

The win takes Aduana to second while Kotoko have slipped to fourth.
