Lions Scare AshantiGold At Len Clay

First Capital Plus Premier League leaders, AshantiGold had to dig very deep into time added on to settle for a 2-2 drawn game with Hearts of Lions at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on Wednesday.

In form striker Yakubu Mohammed gave the soccer miners the lead, but his goal could not stand the test of time as Baffour Gyau scored a brace in either half to put Lions noses in front.

But just as the giant killers looked to jubilate at an away win, Joshua Tijani pulled parity for AshantiGold in the extra time.

At the Berekum Golden City Park, Ahmed Toure's 74th minute goal for the Porcupine Warriors, Asante Kotoko was canceled by Chelsea's Bennett Ofori in the 82nd minute as both sides settled for a draw.

Hearts of Oak returned to winning ways in a-five-goal second half thriller with Aduana Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium.

After an impressive show at the Baba Yara Stadium last Sunday, new entrant West African Football Academy (WAFA) washed aside New Edubiase by 3-1 at the Sogakope Park with Mumuni Zakaria scoring a brace and Majeed Asimeru providing the last goal for the lads before Bismark Idan secured a consolation for the visitors.
