Lamptey and Ganiu scored the Porcupine Warriors’ first two goals in the 17th and 23rd minutes.

Steven Amankona was sent off in the 40th minute, Asekem got a penalty which was saved by Ghana U20 goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad.

The second half began with Kotoko leading 2-0 before Anthony Opoku equalized for the hosts.

Asekem was also reduced to ten men after their goalkeeper was issued a red card for making an intentional save with his hand outside the penalty box.
