In a tightly contested encounter on matchday 19 of the Ghana Premier League, Legon Cities battled to a goalless draw against Accra Lions at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena.
The Royals, seeking redemption after a defeat to Karela United in their previous outing, hosted their Accra counterparts in a bid to secure vital points.
Despite both teams creating scoring opportunities in the first half, neither side managed to break the deadlock. Tempers flared on the sidelines as Legon Cities’ coach, Paa Kwesi Fabin, expressed frustration after a penalty call was waved off by the referee.
As the game progressed, Lions intensified their attacks in the second half, but Legon Cities’ defense held firm to keep the scores level.
In a bid to secure a late victory, both coaches implemented tactical changes, with Legon Cities’ youngster Frank Antwi posing a threat in the dying moments of the match.
However, Lions’ goalkeeper Andrews Owusu showcased his prowess with crucial saves to deny Legon Cities any breakthrough.
Looking ahead, Accra Lions will shift their focus to a midweek clash against Medeama in the postponed matchday 18 fixture, while Legon Cities regroup for their upcoming challenge in the Ghana Premier League campaign.
