With their pride at stake, Ashgold's Alhaji Sani nearly earned his s= ide the opener in the 42nd minute but his bicycle kick sailed over the bar in a goalmouth melee. The pattern of play did not change in the second session of the game a= s both teams, who even though were determined to play could not find the net as they squandered chances upon chances.

Mohammed Aminu of Ashgold hit the cross bar in the 58th minute while Yakubu Mohammed also wasted a begging chance three minutes later which angered Coach Popadic as they showed his frustration by booting off an empt= y Voltic water plastic bottle.

With the heat on Faisal, Sampson Cudjoe also hit the cross bar in the 85th minute to deny the Miner from carrying the day. At the Bekwai Gyamfi Park, New Edubiase held Kumasi Asante Kotoko to a pulsating 1-1 drawn game.
