The midfielder was the hero of the match as his second-half effort proved the separating factor between the Porcupine Warriors and Karela United.<\/p>\n

Asante Kotoko have temporarily moved three points clear above arch-rivals Hearts of Oak atop of the Ghana Premier League table following a 2-1 matchday 30 triumph over Karela United on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Diawisie Taylor scored just after the hour mark for visiting Karela to cancel out Emmanuel Gyamfi\u2019s opener but Brazilian attacker Fabio Gama Dos Santos converted a 68th-minute penalty to win the three points for the Porcupine Warriors.<\/p>\n
The away side have consequently dropped down by two places to fifth on the league standings.<\/p>\n
Kotoko are eagerly keeping an eye on Hearts\u2019 away clash with Legon Cities on Thursday as three points for the Phobians will likely result in a drop to the second position, owing to an inferior goal difference.<\/p>\n
Ghana\u2019s two biggest clubs, Kotoko and Hearts are set for a big showdown on Sunday in what could have a big impact on the ultimate winner of the Premier League.<\/p>\n
The former, with 23 titles, have not won the championship since 2014, while the latter, with 19 successes to their name, have not clinched gold since 2009.<\/p>\n
Great Olympics are one of two sides who benefitted from Karela\u2019s drop on the league table as Maxwell Abbey-Ashie Quaye\u2019s 58th-minute strike ensured a 1-0 home win over Bechem United.<\/p>\n
The \u2018Dade\u2019 Boys have been catapulted to fourth on the log while Bechem hold the 12th position.<\/p>\n
Dreams FC are the second beneficiaries as a 2-1 win over Eleven Wonders, courtesy of Precious Boah\u2019s double, secured a move to the third position. Abass Ganiu shot 15th-positioned Eleven Wonders in front in the 22nd minute.<\/p>\n
In Sogakope, Wafa handed Aduana Stars a 3-2 defeat, thanks to goals from Augustine Boakye, Justus Torsutsey and Atte Youssifou.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Sam Adams and Flavien Kouassi registered consolation goals for the Fire Boys who occupy the eighth position, two places below Wafa.<\/p>\n
At the Golden City Park, hosts Berekum Chelsea pipped Elmina Sharks 2-1 to go 11th on the log. Captain Stephen Amankonah and Abdul Basit were on target for the winners.<\/p>\n
Aside from the Hearts versus Legon fixture, Medeama will take on King Faisal on Thursday as Ebusua Dwarfs and Liberty Professionals square off against Inter Allies and Ashanti Gold, respectively.<\/p>\n
