Hearts hold Techiman City

Accra Hearts of Oak after losing to Wa All Stars last week gave their supporters something to cheer about as they ended the winning spree of Techiman City at home, holding them to a goalless draw.

A thrilling encounter, it was the homesters who dominated the early part of the exchanges as their tormentor-in-chief, Baba Mahama, created problems for the Phobians’ left back, Kennedy Appiah, with his pace and skills.

The Phobians relied on long balls but on most occasions experienced Iddrisu Yaya at the City defence held sensational striker Ibrahim Musah at bay.

From that moment it was Hearts goalkeeper Soulama Abodoulaye who stole the show with some brilliant saves to deny the homesters the opener.

Techiman City came close to registering the first goal after Baba Mahama rattled the crossbar in the 56th minute but the Phobians responded two minutes later when Musah missed terribly after being put through by Eric Kumi.
