Ghana Premier League: Ashanti Gold, Berekum Chelsea fire blank
Defending Ghana Premier League champions Ashanti
Gold failed to break the defensive setup of
Berekum Chelsea as they were held to a goalless
draw on Saturday at the Obuasi Len Clay Sports
Stadium.

The Miners following their CAF Champions League
exit turned their focus on the domestic top-flight
championship and their aim was to beat Berekum
Chelsea to appease their numerous fans but they
failed to glitter.

Despite enjoying possession from onset, they
lacked ideas whenever they got to the final third
of the away side.

Alhassan Nuhu and Fuseini Nuhu combined neatly to
open the defense of Berekum Chelsea but Isaac
Amoah's low shot narrowly missed the post.

Berekum Chelsea also had their moment in the first
half but Saddick Adams shot wide with Ashanti
Gold's shot-stopper Robert Dabuo virtually on
holiday.

The Miners threatened heavily in the second half,
Kadri Mohammed palmed off Chelsea's goalkeeper
Tijani while Fuseini Nuhu failed to connect home
Nti Mensah's driven cross.

Ashanti Gold pressured for the final minutes of
the game forcing Solomon Odwo's side to defend
deep as they stood their grounds to earn a draw
against the Premier League champions.
