10-man Kotoko beat Medeama 1-0 to go top of the table

The first 45 minutes of the match ended goalless despite both sides creating a few chances in the game.

After recess, Nicholas Mensah scored the only goal in the game after breaking through the flanks and going past his marker.

The player had different options in the box but decided to shoot into the tight corner which got the goal.

Nicholas Mensah has scored three goals so far in the Ghana Premier League this season.

Medeama made several attempts to get the equalizer but were unlucky at the face of goal.

Ivorian international Eric Zeze was sent off after refusing to lie on the stretcher. He had already been booked in the match.

Medeama had three free kicks but were unable to convert all in the second half.

The defeat was Medeama's 4th consecutive loss in the campaign.

Kotoko now top the table with 13 points but might lose their place if either Aduana Stars or Accra Lions win their matches on Sunday.
