Medeama put the brakes on ten-man Asante Kotoko with a slim 1-0 win at the T&A Park in Tarkwa on Thursday in the Special Competition.

Striker Kwame Boateng converted a first half penalty which secured the points for the Mauve and Yellows on a rain-soaked pitch.

Medeama were playing their first match in the competition after their opener against Berekum Chelsea was postponed.
