Kotoko accepted the challenge and repulsed the homesters attack and after warming themselves into the game they took full control and no wonder they up the scores through inside left Shilla Alhassan in the 17th minute. The game from then on became a ding-dong affair until the end of first half. Kotoko on resumption brought in Charles Taylor for Michael Ofosu while Moses Tetteh replaced Kweku Eshun and these changes paid dividends for them as they took absolute control of the game from then on forcing Dwarfs to be on the defensive most of the time.
