Asante Kotoko beat Dreams 1-0 to win their opener after coach Maxwell Konadu’s dismissal.
The Porcupine Warriors, under the direction of acting coach Johnson Smith, improved their performance to secure victory at the Theater of Dreams in Dawu.
The victory means that Kotoko has finished a troubled underdog on a high note.
The pre-match discussion was dominated by Kotoko’s off-field troubles. Following Konadu’s firing, Communications Director Moses Antwi-Benefo surprisingly resigned.
There were also reports that other members of the management team were contemplating resignation.
Despite being fully aware of the issues, the players seemed unaffected and got off to a great start resulting in Ibrahim Imoro scoring in the 20th minute.
The defender unleashed an accurate shot into the back of the net from the edge of the area.
Kotoko managed to maintain the lead to record their second win of the season, bringing them to the top half of the table.
Kotoko will turn his attention to continental duties when he welcomes Sudanese giant Al Hilal to the Caf Champions League.
