GPL 2025/26: Asante Kotoko open season with narrow win over Berekum Chelsea

Asante Kotoko started their 2025/26 Ghana Premier League campaign with a 1-0 victory over Berekum Chelsea on Saturday.

Kotoko had not won away to Chelsea at the Golden City Park since 2010.

However, forward Albert Amoah halted the record with a low and hard strike to beat the hosts’ goalkeeper, Adu Emmanuel.

Up next for Berekum Chelsea is an away clash against Swedru All Blacks.

Meanwhile, the win is a real shot in the arm for Kotoko, who are preparing for the preliminary round of the CAF Confederation Cup.

The Porcupines face Nigeria’s Kwara United on September 21.
