Nine minutes later, Peter Amidu Acquah restored the lead for the home side with a fine strike before Kwame Opoku netted his second goal with a powerful header in the 36th minute of the game.
Asante Kotoko ended the first half with a 4-1 lead when Saaka Duada brilliantly lobbed a pass from Baba Yahaya over the Vision FC goalkeeper.
In the second half, Asante Kotoko continued their dominance with the hopes of extending their lead, but they got held captive by the back line of Vision FC.
Opoku came close to registering his maiden hat trick for Asante Kotoko on the hour mark, but his effort went wide after going round the goalkeeper.
