Swedru All Blacks and Berekum Chelsea share spoils in goalless draw

Swedru All Blacks and Berekum Chelsea played out a goalless draw at the Swedru Sports Stadium on Sunday in their Ghana Premier League Matchday 11 encounter.

Both sides struggled to find a breakthrough, with Berekum Chelsea goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi producing two crucial first-half saves to deny the hosts and keep his team in the contest.

The result extends Swedru All Blacks’ winless run to three league matches following defeats to FC Ashantigold and Medeama SC in their previous two outings.

The Black Magicians had started the season strongly at home, recording three wins and one draw in their first five matches at the Swedru Sports Stadium before Sunday’s stalemate. They went into the fixture eighth on the league table with 14 points from 10 matches.

Berekum Chelsea, meanwhile, arrived in Swedru buoyed by their 2-1 comeback victory over Asante Kotoko, which ended a two-match winless run and lifted them to ninth place with 14 points.

The Blues had struggled on their travels, losing four of their first five away league matches, and were looking to improve that record against a Swedru side that had won their previous home meeting 3-0 last season.

The draw takes both teams to 15 points after 11 matches, with Swedru All Blacks still sitting ahead of Berekum Chelsea on goal difference, as the Matchday 11 fixtures continue.
