New signing Gladson Awako headed in a rebound from his own initial header which cannoned off the cross bar to level the scores two minutes later.
The Brong Ahafo lads who are gradually getting a foot hold on the game jumped into the lead throuh striker Bismark Idan on 38 minutes.
Fatawu Mohammed came off the bench to pull even for the Porcupine Warriors in the 60th minute much to the relief of the increasing frustrated Kotoko fans.
