Zaytuna held by Tema Youth

Accra, May 18, GNA - Visiting Tema Youth held Zaytuna United to a two all drawn game in their 19h Week Onetouch Premiership duel played at the El-Wak Stadium, Accra on Sunday. On an afternoon that saw rich entertaining football, both teams dug deep into their strength to produce three goals in the first half with the fourth coming later in the second half. It was Zaytuna who dominated the early parts of the first session and drew the first blood on the half hour mark through Joseph Masiri who completed a fabulous move initiated by Ernest Okyere. Tema Youth found an inspiration to launch a fight that fetched them the equalizer on 38 minute mark through Bernard Akuffo's powerful shot from a solo run.

The telepathic understanding of the visitors was to pay off seven minutes on when Akuffo was on target to score again with a connecting header from a corner kick on the stroke of half time. The homers resumed the second half a better organized side and their newly found motivation drove them to the equalizer seven minutes from the hour mark through Shadrack Kyei. The game jumped alive after the goal with both teams staying under occasional pressure and yet producing enough magic to end the game two all. More VC/AMG 18 May 08
