Hearts of Oak were denied a second win in four days in the Ghana Premier League following a stalemate with Ashanti Gold on Thursday night.

After securing a 2-1 win at Dreams last Sunday, the Phobians failed to make the most of their home advantage as they settled for a point against the Miners at the Accra Sports Stadium. 

The draw leaves the Phobians on ninth position on the league table, five places adrift of Ashgold.

Hearts made a great start and created the first chance of the game in the 15^th minute when Robert Addo’s header was saved by goalkeeper Frank Boateng.

However, AshGold responded in the 36^th minute with a great effort which forced Hearts goalkeeper Richard Atta into making an acrobatic save.

Two minutes later, Hearts were unlucky not to take the lead after striker  Daniel Afriyie spurned a glorious opportunity as he failed to convert from just two yards after goalkeeper Boateng fumbled in his attempt to handle a corner.

Few minutes into the second half, Afriyie wasted another good chance, this time shooting feebly into the goalkeeper’s arm after being sent one-on-one.

Richard Atta was then called into action with a save at the other end after Appiah McCarthy shot from long range.

Hearts had a penalty shout ignored by the referee three minutes later before the Phobians found the back of the net only to see the goal denied for offside.

Five minutes to full-time, Hearts went close once again but Kofi Kordzi's glancing header went off target, the attacker having connected to a Benjamin Eshun cross.
