Asante Kotoko’s clash with FC Samartex 1996 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday was anything but ordinary. A tense first half ended goalless, highlighted by a sharp save from Kotoko’s goalkeeper Aziz Mohammed, keeping the hosts in the game despite early pressure.
The match was then thrown into chaos as heavy rain flooded the pitch, ripping away a team bench cover and leaving the field unplayable. Officials decided to pause the second half, set to resume Monday at 9 a.m. local time.
When play resumed, Samartex stunned the home fans. They broke the deadlock in the 54th minute and doubled their advantage in the 82nd, putting Kotoko on the back foot. Late drama saw Elvis brought down in the box, earning Kotoko a penalty. Samba’s initial spot-kick was saved, but Amoah was quick to pounce on the rebound, pulling one back for the Porcupine Warriors in the 90th minute. Despite the goal, Samartex held on for a 2-1 victory.
The result sees Asante Kotoko slip to fourth in the Ghana Premier League standings, while Samartex climb to sixth, signaling a notable upset in Kumasi.
