Asante Kotoko could only settle for a point at home as they kicked off the New Year in a rather unconvincing manner in the Glo Premier League.

The Porcupine Warriors drew goalless with visiting Aduana Stars and see their lead at the summit cut as rivals, Hearts of Oak are now level on points with two matches to end the first round.

Ahmed Toure's absence from the team appeared to have robbed Asante Kotoko off the much needed finishing as Nathaniel Asamoah could not go past the resolute display at the back by Aduana.
