Wiafe Darkwah kept his cool from the spot deep in stoppage time to hand Swedru All Blacks a famous 1-0 win over Asante Kotoko.
Ghana Premier League drama delivered again on Saturday, as Wiafe Darkwah scored a 95th-minute penalty to give Swedru All Blacks a 1-0 victory over giants Asante Kotoko at the Swedru Sports Stadium.
For most of the contest, a goalless draw looked inevitable. Then came the twist. Left-back Patrick Asiedu brought down Baah Junior inside the box in stoppage time, and the referee pointed straight to the spot, handing the hosts one last chance to snatch all three points.
Darkwah stepped up with the pressure at its peak and beat Kotoko goalkeeper Dari Aziz to settle a tight, tense affair. The home supporters erupted, while Kotoko were left to reflect on a costly lapse at the very death.
The win is only Swedru All Blacks' second from their opening six matches of the 2026/27 campaign, and it arrives as a real confidence boost. Even after the defeat, Kotoko stay level on points with their conquerors in the league table, so both sides will be eager to build momentum in their next fixtures.
A big crowd packed into the Swedru Sports Stadium and created a fiery atmosphere, making it one of the best-attended matches of the 2026/27 season so far.
