The 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League kicked off today December 29, 2019, at all match venues.

Football lovers had their eyes on the two most popular clubs in Ghana Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko.

Both clubs were beaming with confidence ahead of the new season but one has certainly won the bragging rites in week one.

At the Baba Yara Stadium, Justice Blay gave Kotoko an early goal against Eleven Wonders and that was the first goal of the season.
