AshantiGold held by Aduana Stars

Obausi Ashantigold FC were held to a goalless draw game by Aduana Stars at the Len Clay Stadium, Obuasi in their 27th week Premier League game.

It was the third drawn game by the Miners in their last four matches played and resulted in their fall from the second position to the fourth position at the end of the mid week league games played.

Ashgold started well and placed on a perfect footing to take the lead with clear cut goal scoring chances falling on the path of Yakubu Mohammed and Didier Kone in the 15th and 25th minutes respectively, with Stephen Adams standing between them and goals.

Aduana on the other hand had Nurrudeen Ali in a position to score but his shot hit the cross bar as the first half crawled to an end.

The visitors on resumption of the second half opened the scores on the 51st minute through Francis Larbi, whose shot beat Fatau Dauda to silence the home fans.

Ashgold fought back fiercely and had the equalizer in the 59th minute through a penalty kick which was easily converted by Mohammed after a defender of Aduana had handled the ball in their vital area.

Both sides fought strongly in the latter stages of the game to go on top but failed to convert the chances that came their way as the game ended on a one all note.**
