Asante Kotoko and Bibiani Gold Stars played out a goalless draw at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday in their Ghana Premier League Matchday 11 encounter.
The Porcupine Warriors struggled to find a way past a disciplined Gold Stars defence, with neither side able to convert their opportunities into goals in a contest that ended without a breakthrough.
The encounter also witnessed four yellow cards. Kotoko’s Joseph Amoah and Seth Kwadwo were booked in the 32nd and 45+4 minutes respectively, while Gold Stars’ Prince Kwame Dogbe and Kwame Poku received cautions in the 42nd and 59th minutes.
Kotoko entered the fixture hoping to bounce back from their 2-1 defeat to Berekum Chelsea in their matchday 10. The Kumasi-based giants had recorded just one win in their last five league matches, alongside two draws and two defeats, leaving them 10th on the standings with 13 points from 10 games.
Gold Stars, meanwhile, arrived in Kumasi following a goalless draw against Aduana FC and a 1-0 defeat to Samartex in Matchday 9. The former champions had accumulated 11 points from 10 matches, recording three wins, two draws and five defeats.
The stalemate sees Kotoko move to 11th place with 14 points, while Gold Stars climb to 12th with 12 points after 11 matches. Both sides will now turn their attention to the next game as they seek to improve their league positions.
