The home side
Two minutes later David Abagna found the back of the net to make it 2-1 for RTU. Both sides failed to score again as the referee brought proceedings to an end at the Ali Mahama Stadium.
By virtue of the win, RTU have surged to 8th on the Ghana Premier League table with Asante Kotoko likely to drop out of the top four depending on results from Sunday's matches.
The league after today will break for the FIFA World Cup 2022.
