Legon Cities battled for a 1-1 stalemate against Asante Kotoko on match-week 24 of the Betpawa premier league.
Quick start for the champions who attacked with their full backs in the opening minutes with John Tedeku’s whipper cleared out to a wasted corner kick by the host.
The Porcupine Warriors broke the deadlock hemselves into the lead on the 15th minute through captain Richard Boadu who scored from the spot.
Legon Cities came so close to levelling the score but skipper Nasiru Moro had his free kick saved by Frederick Asare- he pulled few more crucial stops to keep Kotoko’s lead intact heading into the break.
In the second half, the homesters continued from where they left, and were constantly given free kicks just at the edge of the box but getting it at the back of the net was their major problem.
