The second round of the Greater Accra Division Two football league (Zone Four) kicked off over the weekend as teams battle to secure one of the two places available to the Middle League from this group.
In a keenly contested game played at the Madina Aviation Park on Saturday, Future Professionals owned by Egypt – based Ghanaian international, Ernest Papa Arko, dropped valuable home points as they drew 2 – 2 with visiting Legon FC.
Future Professionals took a goal lead into the break thanks to Alhassan Basit’s 32nd minute effort, but, that was cancelled out by Eric Adjetey a couple of minutes into the second session.
Godwin Gakpo increased the tally for Legon FC in the 51st minute as they took control of the midfield, reducing the home team to long range efforts as they sort to come back on level terms.
Sensing an unwanted home defeat, Future Professionals upped their game and were duly rewarded with a quarter of the game to go as Kobla Gadri created space for himself inside the opposition goal area and fired one past the goalkeeper to bring his side back on level terms.
Team Manager of Legon FC, Selom Fiano told ghanafootballtalent.com after the game that his side threw away an excellent opportunity to collect all three points as they lost concentration in the last quarter of the game.
