Amidaus Professionals handed Asante Kotoko a hint about the difficulties their title defence is will encounter as they drew 0-0 with the champions on Sunday in Kumasi.

Despite assembling their best materials against the newly promoted team, the debutants appear happy to have left the Baba Yara Stadium with a point.

Amidaus, who stunned Kotoko in the FA Cup could have accomplished another setback before an expected home crowd but poor finishing robbed them off a goal.

For Kotoko, it's just the start and they will be happy to get the first game out of the way in what will definitely be a long season.
