Asante Kotoko midfielder Richard Boadu was selected as Man of the Match as his side beat WAFA 1-0 at home on Boxing Day in the Ghana Premier League.

He put in a typified rocky performance to suffocate the academy boys in the middle of the park.

Midfielder Richmond Lamptey shot home from inside the box to nail his former side who are yet to score and win a point on the road.

The first scare of the game came from Stephen Amankona whose header on a corner kick came off the upright.

WAFA switched on their attacking machine and went on a break but Justus Torsutsey's long range effort catch Abalora off his line but it went wide.

Amankona controlled a ball at the edge of the box and drills in a pass into the box which was met by Gama but the connection went narrowly wide in the 25th minute.

Three minutes to the half hour mark, referee  rescinds an initial decision to award our hosts a penalty. Good call.

Before the hour mark, Richmond Lamptey drilled home the goal after his earlier connection had been intercepted.

Mfegue's close-range shot is blocked by the unsuspecting WAFA keeper and Etuoga's finds himself close but fires feebly wide.

Two minutes to full time, Sampson Agyapong curled in a free-kick but Razak Abalora was alert to tip it over the frame for a corner kick which was wasted.
