2025/26 Ghana Premier League: Week 18 Match Report – Asante Kotoko 0-0 Berekum Chelsea

Asante Kotoko and Berekum Chelsea played out a goalless draw at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday in a match that produced several promising openings but lacked the cutting edge in front of goal.

The result leaves Asante Kotoko six points off the summit, extending a frustrating run after last weekend’s defeat at Swedru All Blacks. Despite enjoying more of the ball, Kotoko were unable to translate possession into clear chances, managing only three shots on target from 13 attempts.

Berekum Chelsea executed their game plan effectively, remaining compact in midfield and disciplined at the back. Their organisation held firm even after head coach Samuel Boadu was sent off, with the visitors showing composure to see out the contest. Chelsea created moments on the break and matched Kotoko with three shots on target, despite having fewer attempts overall.

Kotoko finished with 56 percent possession, seven corners, and territorial control, but Chelsea’s defensive shape limited the hosts’ threat for long spells. The visitors recorded 44 percent possession, six total shots, and two corners.

For Berekum Chelsea, who remain in the bottom three, the draw offers encouragement after a difficult first round and a positive start to the second phase of the season.
