Rahman's last-gasp goal saves Kotoko

Asante Kotoko produced a late equaliser from Baba Abdul Rahman to draw 1-1 against New Edubiase at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday in the Glo Premier League.

Despite earning a share of the spoils, Kotoko have now seen their lead cut to 8 points after AshantiGold won at home.

The league's top scorer, Emmanuel Baffour drew first blood for the visitors after three minutes into the start of the game to take his tally to 17 in 22 games.

Kotoko endured a frustrating afternoon as coach Maxwell Konadu, who begun a two-game touchline ban watched from the stands.

As the clocked ticked, fans of Kotoko started filing out of the grounds with defeat almost certain.

Edubiase appeared to be coasting towards victory until Abdul Rahman fired in from a corner kick to save their blushes three minutes into injury time.

The result appeared like victory for Kotoko as players of Edubiase protested against the goal.
