betPawa GPL: Nsoatreman hold Kotoko; Medeama extend unbeaten run
Reigning league champions Asante Kotoko’s poor away was kaid bare again on Saturday as they were held to a scoreless draw by Nsoatreman FC at the Nana Amoah Koramansah II Park.
The Porcupine Warriors headed into the game on the back off a loss to Dreams FC last Sunday and had not won an away game in their previous six attempts.
Nsoatreman, who were upbeat despite Kotoko’s high profile, performed better than their opponents, who were missing a few first team players who are nursing injuries.
In their quest to maintain and even improve their home form, Nsoatreman threatened to find the winner, but the visitors were determined to avoid another defeat that will dent their quest to retain the title they won last season.
Kotoko is now second on the log, while they await the results of the remaining matchday 18 fixtures, which will be played on Sunday afternoon, to determine their fate.
Elsewhere Medeama SC continued their great run With Nurudeen Abdulai and Joshua Agyemang scoring to power Medeama SC to a 2-0 win at Akoon Park on Friday to move to seventh on the league log.
Legon Cities on the other hand face a dread of finishing in the relegation zone as they sit 15th with 21 points.
Accra Lions and bottom-placed Kotoku Royals played to a goalless draw as well in the second fixture of Saturday.
There is intense on Sunday as matches will continue with Accra Hearts of Oak locking horns with league leaders Aduana Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium.
