The defending champions were seeking to build on last Wednesday’s 3-2 win over Great Olympics in Accra but that fizzled into thin air.
However, Kotoko opened the scoring through Ahmed Toure on four minutes to give the Porcupine Warriors hope.
But Liberty snatched the equalizer in the 21st minute through Latif Blessing.
