Kotoko 1-1 Karela United (pen: 4-1): Porcupines rely on penalties to win Ghana Special Competition

Asante Kotoko have earned the right to represent Ghana in next season's Caf Champions League after beating Karela United in the final of the Special Competition on Sunday.

Following a 1-1 draw after normal time, the match headed straight into penalties, where the Porcupines emerged 4-1 victors at home at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.

It was Karela who netted first on the day through Osei Baffour, whose curling shot from inside the box beat goalkeeper Osei Kwame.

Kotoko had to wait until the 71st minute to level the score when Abdul Safiu Fatawu converted a penalty after the attacker was tripped in the penalty box.
