Kumasi Asante Kotoko were held to a disappointing 0-0 draw in Kumasi by city rivals King Faisal in an outstanding Ghana Premier League match played on Wednesday night.
The Porcupine Warriors would have jumped to second on the league log with victory, but Faisal, in their first game under new coach Ignatius Osei Fosu, showed grit and courage to snatch a draw under the lights.
Kotoko dominated possession for large spells of the game and created decent opportunities but they failed to capitalise on their dominance as King Faisal's defence remained resolute.
In the 76th minute, King Faisal midfielder Abdul Latif was sent off after receiving his second yellow card of the match, but the Porcupine Warriors could not make the numerical advantage count, limping to a goalless stalemate.
The result means Kotoko remain in 5th position, level on points with 4th place Hearts of Oak, both clubs 5 points off leaders Aduana Stars.
King Faisal though, move to 10th on the league, unbeaten in their last 3 games.
