Berekum Chelsea ended a two-game winless streak in the Ghana Premier League with a dramatic late victory over Asante Kotoko on Saturday afternoon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea had to come from behind to claim a crucial win at the Berekum Golden City Park.<\/p>\n

Kotoko started strong, with their reliable Ugandan striker Steven Mukwala opening the scoring after 15 minutes. Mukwala, left unmarked in the penalty area, planted a brilliant header beyond the goalkeeper, giving Kotoko an early lead.<\/p>\n

Chelsea, however, responded just before halftime. Stephen Amankonah converted a penalty following a careless foul by Kotoko goalkeeper Moise Pouaty. The equaliser meant the teams went into the break level, setting the stage for an intense second half.<\/p>\n

Both teams pushed for a winner in the second half, but it was Amankonah who delivered for Chelsea. In the 95th minute, he scored again, sealing the victory for Chelsea and ending their losing streak.<\/p>\n

Game over, and what a fantastic way to do it! @BerekumChelseaF<\/a> 2-1 @AsanteKotoko_SC<\/a> <\/p>\n

The defeat is a setback for Kotoko, who were hoping to continue their climb up the table but now find themselves in the bottom half.<\/p>\n

In contrast, Chelsea\u2019s win propels them to fourth place, much to the delight of coach Samuel Boadu, who has a storied history with Kotoko\u2019s rivals, Hearts of Oak. This result could benefit the Phobians, who have the chance to leapfrog Kotoko with a win against Aduana FC on Sunday.<\/p>\n

In other action, Legon Cities continued their impressive form, securing a 2-1 victory over Great Olympics on Saturday, marking their third win in four games.<\/p>\n
