Heart of Lions produced a last gasp equalizer to hold Berekum Arsenals to a 3-3 draw in their rescheduled Top-4 game at the Coronation park on Monday.

The match originally scheduled for Saturday was rained off.

The draw puts Lions at par with Asante Kotoko on four points apiece though the Porcupine Warriors have a better goal difference after two rounds of matches.

Arsenal, who were coasting to a win are third on the four-team table with two points.

Agyemang Badu before the 30th minute mark fired the Gunners into the lead to end the first half 1-0.

Back from recess, Heart of Lions pushed for the equalizer as Samuel Ellis drew level eleven minutes into the second half.

Heart of Lions raced into the lead for the first time in the game when Ofosu Appiah in the 76th minute scored to make it 2-1.

Four minutes later, the Gunners struck the equalizer as Agyemang Badu hit a brace in the 80th minute.

The Gunners never stopped firing and four minutes after the equalizer, Charles Ampiah got them the third goal.

But two minutes into injury time, the Lions roared again when Ibrahim Sulemana secured them a last gasp equalizer to draw 3-3.

The 1.4 billion cedi competition continues on Wednesday with the final matches to end the first round.
