Coach Abdul Karim Zito oversaw a 1-0 win against Aduana Stars in his first Premier League game as interim manager for Asante Kotoko.
Kwame Poku scored the only goal of the game during the 26th minute, putting the Porcupine Warriors back on winning ways following four winless run in the Ghanaian top-flight.
Aduana Stars had a chance to make it two wins in a row after beating Hearts of Oak in their previous league fixture, but goalkeeper Mohammed Camara stepped in to deny Sam Adams the chance to restore parity.
However, Kotoko stood firm to keep their dream of winning the Ghana Premier League alive with an improved defensive display.
The win leaves them 4th on the table with 50 points – 3points off the summit.
Zito, who took up as Kotoko caretaker following the sacking of Prosper Nartey Ogum last, will hope to a historic win when they face their arch rivals, Hearts of Oak in Accra on Matchday 30.
