Asante Kotoko produced a dominant display to defeat Young Apostles at the Wenchi Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The visitors wasted no time stamping their authority on the contest.
Just six minutes into the game, Johnson Oppong Owusu connected powerfully with a cross from Albert Amoah to head home the opener.
The early strike unsettled the home side and handed Kotoko full control.
Samba O’Neil then extended the lead midway through the first half with a header that deflected off a defender before crossing the line.
The result ends a three-game run without victory for the Kumasi-based club.
It also strengthens their position in the top four as they continue to chase the league leaders.
Young Apostles, on the other hand, stay near the bottom of the table as their fight to avoid relegation intensifies.
