2020/21 Ghana Premier League: Week 25 Match Report- Liberty Professionals 1-1 Asante Kotoko

Ishmael Ganiyu's late header salvaged a point for Kotoko as they were held in Sogakope by Liberty Professionals on matchday 25 of the Ghana Premier League. 

Liberty Professionals took a first half lead through former Kotoko defender Evans Owusu.

The Scientific Soccer Lads began the game in explosive fashion and should have taken the lead in the 20th minute but Prosper Ahiabu's strike was blocked by the Kotoko defence.

Minutes later Maxwell Ansah had the chance to break the deadlock but his weak effort was calmly grabbed by Koyoko goalie Razak Abalora.

However, Abalora failed to grab a long range effort from Owusu eight minutes later to hand Liberty Ptofessionals the lead.

Kotoko midfielder Mudasiru Salifu then forced a save from the Liberty goalie, resulting into a corner which was wasted by the Reds as the referee whistled for half time.

After the break, Michael Laryea sent in a cross from the flanks but Razak Abalora was equal to the task.

Coach Mariano Baretto brought on Latif Anabila for Yusif Mubarik as the Porcupine Warriors chased an equaliser.

With six minutes left, forward Andy Kumi was brought down as Kotoko won a freekick, which was perfectly delivered onto the head of Ganiyu for the equaliser.

Andy Kumi came close to getting the winner but Liberty were resolute in defence, preventing any threat from the Reds.
