Yussif Bayanalabe's 90+1' strike completes a comeback as Berekum Chelsea sink Asante Kotoko 2-1 in a Ghana Premier League thriller.
Ghana Premier League drama was back in full force on Sunday as Berekum Chelsea stunned Asante Kotoko 2-1 at Golden City Park, with Yussif Bayanalabe striking in the first minute of stoppage time to snatch all three points.
Kotoko looked to be heading for a vital away win after Adam Inusah kept his cool from the penalty spot in the 60th minute to put the Porcupine Warriors ahead. The visitors had the lead, and for a few minutes, the momentum.
But Chelsea refused to fold. Just five minutes later, Zackaria Fuseini pulled the hosts level, reigniting the home crowd and turning the contest into an open, end-to-end scrap. Both sides went hunting for a winner, and it was Bayanalabe who delivered the knockout blow at 90+1 to complete the turnaround.
The result deepens the frustration for Kotoko, whose inconsistent campaign continues. The Kumasi giants slip to 10th in the table, while Berekum Chelsea climb to ninth on the back of a priceless home victory.
Next up, Kotoko will look to rebound in their upcoming fixture against Gold Stars, while Chelsea shift their focus to a clash with Swedru All Blacks, hoping to carry this late-show belief with them.
