On a day when they were tipped to pick three
points, Asante Kotoko felt only one was enough as they played out a 0-0
draw with Inter Allies on matchday nine of the Ghana Premier League on
Sunday.
Tied with Aduana Stars at the top of the table ahead of the matchday,
coupled with the 'Ogya' Boys' delayed week nine fixture with Wa All
Stars which has been set for Wednesday, Asante Kotoko needed full points
to safeguard their place at the summit.
The Porcupine Warriors still find themselves at the top and now with a
point lead despite Sunday's deadlock, but the privilege could last for
only three days should Aduana beat All Stars on Wednesday.
Wafa, meanwhile, has caught up with Aduana on 17 points following a 1-0
away triumph at Bechem United. Daniel Lomotey fetched the winner at the
Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park. The Academy Boys have now won four of their
last five matches.
At the Golden City Park, eighth-placed Hearts of Oak suffered their
third defeat of the season by a 1-0 away reversal to Berekum Chelsea.
Stephen Sarfo's goal on 22 minutes was the separating factor.
On their ninth time of asking, Great Olympics recorded their first
season win on the pitch, Bernardino Osah Tetteh emerging the hero of the
day with a third-minute strike. The 'Dade' Boys, now 12-placed, have
moved out of the relegation zone for the first time this campaign.
Bolga All Stars managed to get an away point at the Obuasi Len Clay
Stadium, holding Ashanti Gold to a 1-1 draw. Nonetheless, the new boys
still find themselves rock-bottom of the table. Ashgold's Shafiu Mumuni
and All Stars' Noah Neequaye cancelled out each other after Hans Kwoffie
missed a fourth-minute penalty for the home side.
Elsewhere, Tema Youth and Medeama settled for a point each at the Tema
Stadium. Benjamin Bature restored parity on 68 minutes for the away side
after Michael Kporvi opened the scoring in the sixth minute. The Yellow
and Mauves have now gone six games without a win, leaving them third
from the bottom.
And earlier on Saturday, Liberty Professionals had Ernest Papa Arko's
second half equaliser to thank for their 1-1 away draw at Elmina Sharks.
Benjamin Tweneboah opened the scoring in the first half
