KOTOKO PIP JETS (BACK PAGE, SEPT 20, 2010)

Kumasi Asante Kotoko won their second consecutive Glo Premier League match by pipping Tudu Mighty Jets by a lone goal at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi yesterday.
The goal, scored by Alex Asamoah just under a minute, saw the fans rooting for more, but it was the visitors who responded as they probed for the equaliser as the game wore on, making the home fans rather sit on tenterhooks for a greater part of the game.
Moments after kick-off, Louis Agyemang intercepted a pass and spotted Asamoah who sneaked through two defenders and put the ball beyond the reach of Yakubu Abubakari in post for Mighty Jets for the opener.
The visitors panicked after the early goal as they allowed Asamoah to head home an in-swinger from Louis Agyemang in the 20th minute, but referee Samuel Suka ruled it offside.
Sensing danger, Mighty Jets built a solid wall at the back, warding off the Kotoko threat, and gradually warmed themselves into the game. They created scoring chances but failed to take advantage of them.
