Premier League Wrap-Up: RTU relegated after defeat to Asante Kotoko; Accra Lions jump to second

Real Tamale United (RTU) brought the curtain down on their Ghana Premier League tenure after 2-0 defeat at home to Asante Kotoko.

Peter Amidu Acquah broke the deadlock in the 58th minute before Bernard Somuah doubled the lead in the 86th minute, to secure the win for the visitors at the Naa Sheriga Sports Complex in Nalerigu.

Kotoko's win at Real Tamale United has condemned the pride of the north to a return to Ghana's second-tier league next season as they lie bottom of the table.

RTU, positioned 18th with 31 points before the match, struggled to find their rhythm. In contrast, Kotoko, now with 46 points, moved up from 10th place.

RTU will face Dreams FC in an outstanding game before their season finale against Accra Great Olympics.

Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko will host Bofoakwa Tano in their next match at the Baba Yara Stadium, hoping to end the season on a high after a torrid campaign.
