Asante Kotoko's five-match closed-doors ban reduced

Asante Kotoko's punishment to play five Ghana Premier League home matches behind closed doors due to hooliganism has been reduced to three games.

Having already honoured one match without their fans, the Porcupine Warriors now have two more games to complete the punishment.

Kotoko were charged on four charges of misconduct for fan trouble during a matchday three home fixture against Berekum Chelsea at Kumasi's Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
