The Premier League newcomers dominated the first half of the fixture with an intense pressure on the visitors but none of their attempts earned them the opener.

On the 55th minute, talented forward Isaac Oppong netted the opener for Asante Kotoko with a sumptuous strike which saw goalkeeper Yaw Ansah Fufro crawling in his net.

Asante Kotoko looked very calm after opening the floodgate as Sheriff Mohammed was introduced as replacement for Fabio Gama.
