Two late goals scored in Bibiani as Goldstars and Hearts of Oak played out a thrilling 1-1 stalemate at the Dun’s Park in Ghana Premier League match-day 7 on Saturday mid-afternoon.
Coach Michael Osei fielded a a very strong that comprised of Appiah McCarthy, Stephen Banahene, Ronald Frimpong, Alex Aso and more.
Richmond Ayi was handed starting berth again, Kofi Agbesimah, Ibrahim Salifu, Kashala Ramos, Martin Karikari were included in the line up.
The game began on a lower note with both teams really cautious in their approach as they all loved to keep possession in the early stages.
Subsequently, both teams came up at each other with series of attempts which resulted into even exchanges but there was no goal produced at half time.
In the second half, both teams looked desperate right from the start, having attacked and fired from all cylinders in search of the opener.
Kashala Ramos subsequently had a one on one opportunity with goalkeeper Yaw Osei but his pass to set up a teammate at far post was checked by the Goldstars defence.
Appiah McCarthy finally snatched the lead for the Miners on the 86th minute mark with another spectacular free kick- just as he did in their last game.
Without relenting anytime soon and continued to probe for the leveller, Hamza Issah nipped on a miscalculated clanger from goalkeeper Yaw Osei to score a precious goal to get the ‘Phobians’ back on level terms.
It ended 1-1 after full time as both teams serged on with their recent winless runs.
