Samartex FC nipped on Emmanuel Keyekeh's first half free kick to narrowly edge Asante Kotoko by 1-0 at the Nsenkyire Sports Stadium in an epic match-day 10 fixture of the Ghana Premier League
Bernard Morrison with an attempt on the 16th minute after a delicious cross was sent in the box targeting a teammate but Kofi Baah came off his line to collect.
Samartex were given a free kick at a very good position with Augustine Agyapong being the culprit. Kotoko's ex- conjurer Emmanuel Keyekeh stepped and scored with a spectacular delivery to give the host the lead.
Back from recess, the Porcupine Warriors returned explosively and had an attempt on goal but Kalo Ouattara's effort was parried away to a wasted corner kick.
The Timber Giants returned on a good note and looked really calm on the ball as they looked to preserve their lead to full time.
Ivorian import Serge Zeze combined nicely with Kalo to send in a strong hit but was saved softly by the home team goalkeeper.
After series of exchanges, it finished 1-0 after full time for Samartex who have now climbed up to the log.
Kotoko are now winless in their last five Premier League matches.
