A late penalty converted by Guinean import Naby Keita earned Asante Kotoko the derby spoils in a 2-1 win over Hearts of Oak on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Phobians failed to make their recent surge in form count as the Porcupine Warriors looked compact and tactically superior but the overall quality was bog-standard.
But Edawrd Odoom's men were the first to make a dangerous move after Emmanuel Nettey profited from a back header and put his leg through, but his touch inside the box went over the frame.
Esso pulled the trigger from inside the box, but it was an off-target delivery with the outside of his boot. He had a marker closing him down and that made it difficult.
Kotoko managed to recover and started connecting passes. It confused the Phobians a bit as their work rate paid off after winning a free-kick.
Justice Blay scored the go-ahead goal in the 11th minute with a blistering header on an Augustine Okrah free-kick which flew past goalkeeper Richard Atta.
Midfielder Mudasiru Salifu made another slalom run from deep and skipped past two players before unleashing a low shot but it was wide.
Hearts of Oak hit back after 26 minutes when left back Ovuka whipped in a cross from the left after a marauding run.
His effort found Kofi Kodzie who connected with his head from inside the box but it was wide.
Just after the half hour mark, Hearts came threatening when an out-swinging free-kick from the right flank was headed down powerfully but goalkeeper Kwame Baah picked it up coolly
Kodzie fired the warning shot again after he was allowed room to do a 360 turn and the burly striker unleashed a powerful strike which was rising.
There was a huge scare just at the end of the first half when Baah spilled a free-kick inside his area but the Kotoko player were quick to clear their lines

Always a super clash when these two meet

[@odenehod.k4587]

His hand was far extended off the body and that makes the difference. The ref got it right.
