Hohoe United continued their impressive rise with a 1-0 victory over Asante Kotoko on Sunday, marking a memorable result in the first-ever league meeting between the two sides.
The newly promoted club delivered a spirited performance in front of a packed and vibrant crowd at the Hohoe Sports Stadium.
Kotoko, now winless in four matches, struggled to find fluency throughout the game on the artificial turf and were second best for large periods.
Hohoe United showed greater urgency and hunger, and their determination paid off in the 24th minute. William Oduro stepped up and curled a stunning free-kick into the top corner, leaving goalkeeper Mohammed Camara rooted to the spot.
The Porcupine Warriors attempted to rally after the break but lacked cutting edge in the final third, adding to growing concerns around their recent form. Pressure continues to build on head coach Karim Zito as expectations remain high for a team pushing to stay in the title hunt.
The defeat leaves Kotoko fifth on the league table, five points off the top, ahead of a difficult home fixture against Dreams FC.
For Hohoe United, momentum is building strongly. Back-to-back victories have lifted them to 9th place, and they will go in search of a third straight win when they travel to face Berekum Chelsea next.
