AshantiGold SC failed to make their home count as they were held by Legon Cities FC to a scoreless stalemate at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi on Sunday.
The matchday six encounter saw the Miners and the Royals create very few scoring opportunities in the end. Cities winless run has now been stretched to four matches, while AshantiGold failed to win at home for the second time this campaign.
AshantiGold stop-gap coach Thomas Duah made five changes to the team that were beaten 2-0 in Tamale by RTU last week.
Maxwell Konadu on the other hand made four alterations to the squad that lost at home to Aduana Stars in the last round in Accra. Cities nearly got the opening goal of the match in the 41st minute when Jonah Attuquaye’s free-kick from the edge of the box struck the woodwork.
AshantiGold came close again in the second half but Abdul Salam’s effort was cleared off the line by a Cities with a rebound by Addai also blocked.
AshantiGold will make a journey to Sogakope to take on WAFA SC in the next round whereas Cities host Berekum Chelsea in Accra.
