Stephen Mukwala and Serge Zeze powered Kotoko to a crucial victory over Berekum Chelsea to send the champions back to second place in the Ghana Premier League.
The Porcupine Warriors, who headed into the game from a defeat to Real Tamale United before the World Cup break, came from behind to secure a 2-1 victory over Berekum Chelsea in a highly contested battle.
Kotoko were punished for their wastefulness in the first half as Berekum Chelsea struck first through Emmanuel Sarpong’s 28th minute goal. The forward capitalised on a poor clearance from Andrews Appau and planted the ball beyond Ibrahim Danlad to put the visitors in front.
The Porcupine Warriors, however, survived the threat, as Serge Zeze who came off the bench to restore parity in the 45th minute.
Ugandan Striker Stephen Mukwala was also on target as Kotoko finally found the needed goal to bounce back to winning ways. The Ugandan forward scored his second league goal in the 66th minute to get Kotoko the maximum points.
The win puts Kotoko back on the second position leapfrogging Hearts who won last Tuesday at Nsoatreman.
