Hearts of Oak and Great Olympics shared the spoils in a goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, a crucial match for both teams as they battle relegation.

The Mantse derby ended without a winner but was not devoid of controversy. A mistake by Olympics goalkeeper Benjamin Asare presented Hearts of Oak with a scoring opportunity. However, after the first shot was blocked, the referee’s whistle ended the half, nullifying the rebound attempt and inciting frustration among Hearts of Oak fans.

The game was evenly balanced, with both teams sharing 50% possession and three goal attempts each, resulting in a stalemate.

This result leaves both teams needing victories in their final matches to remain in the league. Hearts of Oak must win against Bechem United away, while Great Olympics face relegated Real Tamale United in Accra.
