Asante Kotoko suffered yet another setback in their bid to defend their Ghana Premier League title after losing to Berekum Chelsea on matchday 26.
The Porcupine Warriors were handed a 0-3 defeat away from home by the Blues on Friday, April 14.
After a goalless game in the opening 45 minutes, Kotoko looked to get something against the Blues after holding off the pressure in the exchanges.
However, the second half was a different game from the home side, who threatened immediately after recess.
Their intent paid off on the 50th-minute mark when Kalou Outtara rose highest to connect with a cross from his teammate to open the scoring.
The lead was doubled minutes later as Kalou grabbed his second of the game, putting the game beyond the reach of Kotoko.
On a chase for a consolation goal, the Kumasi-based side were cut open and Chelsea registered their third through Patrick Kofi Ansu.
