Asante Kotoko piped Medeama SC 2-1 at the Ohene Djan Stadium on Wednesday in the Ghana Premier League play-off to finish second on the league table.<\/p>\n

After tying on points and on the head-to-head rule, the Premier League Board organized the one-off match to decide. Kotoko went ahead in the 25th minute through Ivorian import Ahmed Toure, sent off in added on time, who finished off Alex Asamoah\u2019s assist.<\/p>\n

Asamoah survived a rough tackle and raced into the box before picking out sharp-shooter Toure. Kotoko right-back Yaw Frimpong charged into the box and was whacked down for a penalty. Toure elected himself and displaced Medeama goalkeeper Mozart Adjetey on 39 minutes.<\/p>\n

The Porcupine Warriors missed a lot of scoring chances afterwards before Medeama pulled one back through substitute Godbless Asamoah on the stroke of half-time. Medeama came out strongly in the second half and Louis Agyeman\u2019s 49th minute effort was parried into play by goalkeeper Soulama but Richard Mpong fluffed the rebound.<\/p>\n

Alex Asamoah\u2019s 57th minute goal from a rebound was ruled offside by the assistant referee. On the hour mark, Godbless Asamoah\u2019s half volley inside the Kotoko 18-yard box. Both teams settled for one-all draws in the two fixtures this season.<\/p>\n

Kotoko engaged All Stars last season in a similar match at the Sunyani Coronation Park two seasons ago.That match ended 3-3 in regulation time but Kotoko won 13-12 following marathon penalty kicks.<\/p>\n
