Nations FC and Asante Kotoko settled for a goalless draw in their Premier League Matchday 5 clash at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex on Saturday afternoon.
Both teams created several openings in an entertaining contest, but neither side could deliver the decisive touch as they shared the points.
The hosts came into the fixture on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Medeama SC in Tarkwa — their second loss of the season. With just five points from five matches (W1, D2, L2), Nations FC have endured one of their slowest starts since gaining promotion to the top flight in 2023.
They currently occupy the lower half of the table, having scored three goals and conceded four. Despite their inconsistent form, Nations FC have enjoyed a solid record against Kotoko, remaining unbeaten in their last three home meetings (W1, D2) and keeping three clean sheets in their last four league encounters with the Porcupine Warriors.
For Kotoko, the draw extends their unbeaten start to the campaign, keeping them among the four teams yet to lose this season as they continue to build momentum under their new project.
Nations FC will now turn their attention to their next assignment away to Dreams FC, while Kotoko travel to face Basake Holy Stars.
Elsewhere in Tema, Vision FC secured a commanding 3-0 victory over Bibiani Gold Stars at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex to record back-to-back wins.
The visitors, reigning league champions, started brightly and nearly took the lead early on, forcing goalkeeper Kwame Aziz into a sharp save just eight minutes in. However, Vision FC took full control after the break.
Abdul Naseru Sumaila struck twice to put the hosts in charge, opening the scoring in the 55th minute before doubling his tally in the 84th. Substitute Sherif Mohammed Iddrisu sealed the result in stoppage time with a composed finish.
The win lifts Vision FC to fifth on the table with eight points from five matches, underlining their growing confidence under head coach Nana Agyemang.
Gold Stars, meanwhile, have now suffered consecutive defeats, dropping to 10th place with six points. They will aim to bounce back when they host Heart of Lions in their next outing, while Vision FC prepare for a tricky away test against Bechem United.
