Substitute Sam Yeboah missed the most glaring chance of the game as he feebly shot into the hands of keeper Joseph Addo after great wing play by fellow substitute Paul Acquah.The draw means meetings between both sides ended in draws but the Phobians will have an advantage over the Dormaa side should both sides be level on points after scoring an away goal in Dormaa.
