KOTOKO TAME ALL STARS AT WA (PAGE 47)

Kumasi Asante Kotoko yesterday beat Wa All Stars 2-0 in their delayed Onetouch Premier League match at the Wa Stadium.
Both goals were scored by burly striker, Kwabena Yaro, in each half.
After brief exchanges between the two sides, Kotoko gained the upper hand with beautiful inter-positional changes which drew cheers from the huge crowd.
Just as the homesters were warming themselves into the game, Kotoko drew first blood through Yaro in the 18th minute. Eric Bekoe, after disposing of two All Stars defenders, delivered a seemingly harmless long shot which goalkeeper Osumanu Yaro failed to save first time only for on-rushing Yaro to tap home with cheeky ease.
All Stars accepted the challenge but could not equalise till the end of the first half.
Back from recess, Yaro was again on target when he rounded the homesters’ defence and put the ball at the blind side of keeper Osumanu Yaro in the 60th minute.
As if satisfied with the scoreline, Kotoko relaxed their game and made All Stars to run the show, but all the chances that came their way were wasted much to the chagrin of their supporters.
For the records, Kwabena Yaro emerged the best player and was also given a ball for scoring a brace.
