Nations FC and Bechem United faced off in a highly anticipated opening fixture of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex on Sunday, September 8, 2024.
Fans were eager for an exciting clash, but the match ended in a goalless draw, with both teams struggling to convert their chances into goals.
The game was marked by intense back-and-forth play, yet neither side managed to break the deadlock. The match took a dramatic turn six minutes after the hour mark when Bechem United defender Charles Owusu received a red card, reducing his team to ten men.
However, Nations FC faced a similar setback shortly after, with one of their players also being sent off, resulting in both teams playing with ten men for the remainder of the match.
The stalemate leaves both teams still searching for their first win of the season. Nations FC will next travel to Wenchi to face newly promoted Young Apostles, who are looking to recover from their 2-0 defeat against Nsoatreman FC.
Meanwhile, Bechem United will prepare to host Aduana FC at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park.
