The Cameroonian scored one and missed a penalty as the Porcupine Warriors returned to winning ways against Medeama on Sunday
Asante Kotoko defeated Medeama 1-0 on matchday fourteen of Ghana Premier League at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The Porcupine Warriors headed into the game on the back of a stalemate against Berekum Chelsea last week and coach Prosper Ogum Narteh made some few changes in the squad with Dickson Afoakwa coming in for injured Stephen Amankonah while Kwame Baah made the matchday squad for the first time in two months since Razak Abalora has now joined Moldovan giants Sherif Tiraspol in a three-year deal.
Kotoko unveiled midfielder Justice Blay who has rejoined the club from Medeama in a two-year deal to the supporters before kick off.
Amed Toure tormented Kotoko defence in the early minutes of the game but failed to make the half chances count.
Afoakwa almost snatched the lead for Kotoko by the 23rd minute with a powerful shot from the edge of the box but it was saved by goalkeeper Mandjui, who joined Medeama last year in a three-year deal.
Mandjui dispatched another effort from Imoro Ibrahim by the 37th minute to the surprise of the Kotoko defender who was about to set off for a celebration.
After the break, Kotoko continued to press Medeama for the opener but Mandjui was always present to frustrate them.
However, Mfegue benefited from a mistake by Adom Frimpong and perfectly sent in his effort beyond the reach of goalkeeper Mandjui.
The Cameroonian striker could’ve bagged a brace five minutes later after Kotoko were awarded a penalty but he couldn’t beat Mandjui this time around as his kick was saved.
Kotoko have currently widen the gap on the log with 30 points, six points above Aduana Stars who sit in second place, while they are ten points better than rivals Hearts of Oak.
