Aduana FC and Asante Kotoko played out a goalless draw in Week 17 of the Ghana Premier League, as both sides missed the chance to gain ground in the title race at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park.

In a contest that carried weight in the race for the top positions, neither side was able to find a breakthrough despite moments of promise at both ends.

Kotoko, who came into the game on the back of a commanding 3-0 win over Nations FC, looked the more adventurous side early on.

They nearly found the opener in the 22nd minute when Patrick Asiedu spotted goalkeeper Osei Prince off his line and attempted an audacious long-range effort.

However, his effort narrowly missed the target.

The hosts responded ten minutes later with their own opportunity.

Dari Aziz was called into action and produced a fine save to deny Aduana, ensuring the match remained level heading into the break.

With both teams locked at 0-0 at half-time, the second half followed a similar pattern, but lacking cutting edge in the final third.

Despite their attacking intent, neither side managed to create clear chances to break the deadlock.

The result means Kotoko remain third on the league table with 43 points, while Aduana sit just behind in fifth place on 42 points.

Kotoko will return home to face Samartex at the Baba Yara Stadium in their next encounter, while Aduana travel to Golden City Park for a clash against Berekum Chelsea.
