Hohoe United have played a pulsating goalless draw regional rivals Heart of Lions in a very thrilling end to end game to kickoff Ghana Premier League match-day 16.
Both teams have had appalling runs lately and are currently on a four and seven games winless streak after today’s draw.
The first half didn’t really produce much even though both sides had chances came their way but failed to make them count.
In the second half, Hohoe United had a big opportunity after Lawson Bekui weaved his way through enemy territory but was brought down in the box by Heart of Lions captain Ebenezer Abban for a penalty.
Captain Safian Usman stepped up for the ‘Muje Gabah’ lads and skied off the kick in a very awful fashion in the 65th minute.
The Giant Killers were always operating from the flanks making some explosive attacks but couldn’t count. Michael Ephson put Obeng Jr through with a decent pass but his effort missed the target narrowly.
Hohoe United after the draw have moved out of the relegation zone as they currently sit in 14th place with 18 points to close the first round.
Heart of Lions have now ended their four-game losing streak but have still extended their winless run and are now in sixth position with 24 points.
