Accra Hearts Oak stretched their winless run in the Premier League to three games with a frustrating 1-1 draw against WAFA in Accra.

Charles Boateng stunned the Phobians with the opener in the 34th minute, and held on to frustrate Hearts for a long time.

However Hearts of oak’s persistence paid off as Cosmos Dauda hit back in the 74th minute. Dauda’s equalizer was though by many Phobians to be a lunch-pad for another great comeback, but WAFA held on tightly.

With leaders All Stars losing at Bechem United, the draw helped second-placed Hearts to close in, reducing All Stars’ lead to just two.

However, the result extends Hearts of Oak’s recent disappointing results after their impressive start to the season.

The phobians are yet to win in three premier league matches since their stunning comeback against Inter Allies at Tema in week 5 of the premier league.

NEW EDUBIASE 1 ASHANTIGOLD 2

Defending Champions, Ashantigold came from a goal down to beat rivals New Edubiase 2:1 in the Adansi derby in Obuasi.

Two kick goals in the first half set the tone for an exciting contest, but it was the miners who grabbed the winner.

Wahab Annan fired New Edubiase into the lead in the 29th minute, but Ashantigold equalized instantly within a minute through Francis Adjei.

Anthony Yerful grabbed the winner for Ashantigold in the 73rd minute.
