It was a game with few chances, but Kotoko left Cape Coast Stadium all smiles thanks to her right-back Nettey.
The first half failed to produce any goals, with the header from Brazilian Fabio Gama in 35th minute missing the target for a mustache.

The second half was no different than the first, with Kotoko doing her best for the victory.
They scored in the 70th minute after an effective play by their two defenders Christopher Nettey and Patrick Asmah.
Asmah sent a good cross into the area and Nettey headed for the net.

For the dwarves, it’s still 11th However, despite the loss, a victory would have brought them into the top 10.
