Asante Kotoko’s momentum hit a speed bump on Wednesday as they were held to a goalless draw by Vision FC in an outstanding Ghana Premier League fixture at the Nii Adjei Kraku II Sports Complex in Tema.

Fresh off a morale-boosting win over arch-rivals Hearts of Oak, the Porcupine Warriors were hoping to ride that wave into the top four. Instead, they left Tema with a solitary point — a result that keeps them four points adrift of league leaders Aduana FC, albeit with two games in hand.

Kotoko dominated large spells of the match, dictating possession and carving out several clear-cut chances. But Vision FC, far from overawed, matched their visitors with grit and tactical discipline. In fact, the Tema-based side nearly stole all three points late on, forcing Kotoko’s backline into some nervy moments.

The draw extends Kotoko’s unbeaten run to seven matches — four wins and three draws — and sees them sit seventh on the table. Their next test is a high-stakes clash against Aduana FC this weekend, a fixture that could reignite their title charge or widen the gap further

For Vision FC, the result is a statement of intent. Now 10th on the log, they’ll take confidence from their performance as they prepare to face Basake Holy Stars in their next outing.
