FC AshantiGold 04 were forced to settle for a goalless draw against Young Apostles FC in their Matchweek 10 fixture of the Ghana Premier League at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi on Sunday afternoon.
The Miners went into the encounter hoping to extend their impressive home record after securing a 2-1 comeback victory over Swedru All Blacks in their previous outing.
However, they were unable to find a breakthrough against a determined Apostles side, who put up a resilient performance to secure a valuable point on the road.
The visitors, who arrived in Obuasi struggling for form after three consecutive matches without a win, showed considerable improvement and frustrated their hosts throughout the contest.
AshantiGold goalkeeper Fatao Seidu proved decisive in the second half, producing a brilliant save in the 70th minute to deny Apostles and preserve his side's clean sheet.
The intervention was a crucial moment in the encounter, as the visitors came close to breaking the deadlock and claiming a potentially significant away victory.
Despite their efforts, neither side managed to find the back of the net, with the contest ending in a stalemate.
The result means AshantiGold missed the opportunity to collect maximum points at home but extended their remarkable unbeaten league record at the Len Clay Stadium to 20 matches, having recorded 15 victories and five draws during that run.
The draw represents a valuable result for Apostles in their battle to move away from the relegation zone, although they will still be searching for their first away league victory of the campaign.
