    Wa All Stars have exorcised the Kotoko ghost that has long haunted them with a priceless 1-0 victory against the Porcupine Warriors in Wa.

    The Phobians had their noses in front in the second half through an own goal by Kenneth Owusu but in a dramatic fashion, the own goal villain rallied back late in a game with a redeemer of an equalizer.

    The result could only make Hearts’ Serbian trainer Nebojsa Vucicevic angry, stomping out of the field of play soon after the final whistle.
