Faisal share points with visiting RTU

Kumasi, May 3, GNA - Kumasi King Faisal were held by visiting Real Tamale United (RTU) to a pulsating 0-0 drawn game in their Glo Premier League match played at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday. Faisal who were determined to maintain their second place on the League table, fired from all angles right from the kick-off in search of an early goal to unsettle the visitors but in the sixth minute, Abedi Sarfo missed a glorious chance as his header from an Ebo Andoh's cross went off target.

RTU, a minute later nearly shocked the homesters with a beautiful inter-positional play upfront, however, Fatawu Mohammed failed to beat goalkeeper Osei Boateng as the goalie rushed to grab the ball after the striker intercepted a pass in the midfield and went on a solo effort. In the second half, Faisal brought on Prince Arkoh for injured Abedi Sarfo, but the change did little to change the course of the game as both teams concentrated their play in defence and occasionally made some incursions at goal through counter-attacks. RTU's Sumaila Yahya was red-carded in the 73rd minute for rough play but Faisal could not utilise the numerical advantage as poor shooting at goal deprived them of the maximum three points.
