Nsoatreman returned to the summit by defeating Asante Kotoko 1-0 in Nsuatre in a closely watched Ghana Premier League encounter.
The great performance, orchestrated by former Kotoko coach Maxwell Konadu, secured all three points for Nsoatreman and solidified their strong start to the season.
Nsoatreman now lead the league table, with a one-point advantage over second-placed Aduana FC and a game in hand.
For Kotoko, who entered the match seeking their first win since October 13, when they beat Aduana at home, overcoming Nsoatreman proved challenging.
Coach Prosper Ogum’s side struggled even more when they were reduced to 10 men just before half-time. Defender Henry Ansu received his second yellow card and was sent off, leaving Nsoatreman in control in front of their home fans.
The decisive goal was scored by forward Stephen Diyou in the 41st minute. Despite Kotoko’s protests claiming an offside position, the goal stood.
