Super Clash: Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak throw away penalties in rivalry showdown

Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko and arch-rivals Hearts of Oak each spurned a penalty as they settled for a 0-0 draw in their rescheduled matchday 14 clash in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday.

Kotoko’s Kwame Opoku missed a spot-kick just minutes into the game before Hearts’ Isaac Mensah followed suit after the break in the showdown at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The result has left both teams tied on 24 points but the Phobians sit higher in the fifth position due to a better goal difference.
