Berekum Chelsea produced a masterful performance to stun Asante Kotoko at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday. The Blues snatched a late win despite playing majority of the second half with a numerical disadvantage as they had a player sent off.
Forward Kelvin Obeng was the hero, scoring in the 80th minute to break Kotoko fans’ hearts in the thrilling contest.
The first half ended without a goal. After the break, Kotoko were given a boost when Owusu Osei was sent off for a bad challenge.
Chelsea scored with 10 minutes of normal time remaining when Obeng beat his marker and curled the ball past Danlad Ibrahim into the back of the net.
Kotoko pushed for the equaliser but to no avail, as Chelsea held on for a famous win.
Their first win over Kotoko since 2020.
The defeat means Kotoko will now come under intense pressure in the battle for the Ghana Premier League title.
