The striker became a target after his side shocked Kotoko at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium
Berekum Chelsea striker Kofi Owusu was nearly attacked by Asante Kotoko supporters after his side pipped them 1-0 on matchday 30 of Ghana Premier League at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
Ahead of the game, Kotoko captain Abdul Ganiu Ismail was passed fit to feature for the Porcupine Warriors after several weeks on the sideline. As a result, he was paired with Andrews Appau in central defence while Christopher Nettey and Imoro Ibrahim took charge of the full backs.
It was Chelsea who had the first opportunity to take the lead after only four minutes through Kofi Owusu. The former Ghana Premier League goal king was played through but his final shot was blocked by goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim.
Etouga had a similar chance to put Kotoko ahead by the 33rd minute but after his initial shot was blocked, he skied the rebound.
After the break, Kotoko had a numerical advantage after Kofi Owusu was red carded for an off the ball incident. The striker was caught punching Nettey in the face.
Interestingly, Nettey’s initial attack on Owusu which triggered his reaction was not seen by the referee, his assistants and the fourth so he was left unpunished.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Chelsea kept their cool and prevented Kotoko from going in front on numerous occasions.
Chelsea scored the opening goal by the 79th minute against the run of play after a terrible defending by Appau.
Kotoko probed further but they could not break down resilient defence of Chelsea.
After the game, Owusu was seen approaching the car park but a heated argument began between himself and some few fans. Within a twinkle of an eye, it had escalated as some wanted to physically manhandle him.
It took the intervention of the military to save the situation as Owusu was led to to join his teammates.

Asante Kotoko players have proven to Ghanaians that they are one of the highest paid, if not the highest, in the country as they displayed their cars ahead of training session.
On Friday, the players arrived at the Adako Jachie training ground in Kumasi ahead of the Ghana Premier League game against Berekum Chelsea with fleet of cars ranging from highlander, Toyota Camry, Corolla and Honda Civic.
Although, many have argued that the cars aren’t the latest ones in the market, one could also say that if you juxtapose the current situation of the players to recent years, they have obviously seen a huge improvement.

Freedom Jacob Caesar had explained that he brought the animals in a bid to boost Ghana’s tourism.

Ghana Division One League is gradually coming to an end. Nsoatreman FC and Liberty Professionals as well as Samatex look teams to win qualification to Ghana Premier League next season.
In Zone 1, Nsoatreman have taken a three-point lead over Tamale City but the latter have a game at hand against Bofoakwa Tano on Thursday to close in.

In Zone Three, Liberty Professionals shocked Tema Youth at the Tema Sports Stadium by pipping them 2-1 in front of their vociferous home supporters.
Liberty, after a slow start to the campaign, have now taken a three-point lead as they currently lead the log with 55 points and may keep it as a huge advantage. The Scientific Soccer Lads were relegated from the Top-flight last season.
However, ther is still chance for third-place Heart of Lions to move to closer to second placed Tema Youth when they play as visitors to Accra City Stars. A win for Lions would means that they are only one point behind Tema Youth and four points behind leaders Liberty Professionals.
In the relegation battle, Nania FC defeated Kwaebibirim 1-0 at home and they are now one point below safety.
Following the demotion of Inter Allies due to their match fixing scandal with Ashanti Gold during last season, it is likely only two clubs will be relegated from the zone.
Samatex are just three wins away from being crowned as Zone Two champions despite sharing the spoils goalless at home against Achiken. The Sameraboi-based team lead the log with 58 points, seven points above Ebusua Dwarfs who pipped Holy Stars 1-0 at home.

Emmanuel Owusu gave Bechem the lead in the game after 21 minutes following a poor defending by RTU.
However, Ronald Frimpong pulled even for the hosts on 32nd minute against the run of play after Okrah nearly doubled Bechem’s lead at the other end few minutes before.
After the break, RTU went ahead through Issah Kuka. The youngster connected a pass from his teammate and perfectly slotted it in beyond the reach of goalkeeper Abdulai Iddrisu.
Interestingly, Bechem broke the hearts of the home fans with a late equalizer deep in additional time. Okrah picked up a pass and sent in a powerful shot which was spilled by the goalkeeper.
Hafiz Konkoni was at the right place at the time and calmly tapped in the rebound.
Bechem are still second on the log with 48 points, eight points behind Asante Kotoko who have a game in hand against Ashanti Gold at the Len Clay Sports Stadium on Thursday.
