Hearts of Oak failed to build on last weekends Super Clash victory over Asante Kotoko after being held to a goalless draw by Berekum Chelsea in an engaging encounter at the University of Ghana Stadium, Legon, on Sunday.Both sides created opportunities and could have taken all three points, but a lack of clinical finishing and resolute defending ensured the match ended without goals.Hearts goalkeeper Benjamin Asare produced an important save in the first half to keep the visitors at bay, while Berekum Chelsea defender Mohammed Seidu made a crucial goal-line clearance to deny the Phobians the opener.Chelsea goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi also played his part, pulling off an excellent save to stop Mawuli Wayo as Hearts pushed for a breakthrough.Statistically, Hearts of Oak came closest to scoring, registering more shots on target and showing greater attacking intent, but they were unable to convert their chances.The dropped points leave Hearts five behind league leaders Medeama, who were also held to a 0-0 draw by Samartex in their fixture.Hearts of Oak will now turn attention to their next match against Heart of Lions, while Berekum Chelsea face Karela United. Chelsea remain 15th on the table, three points adrift of safety as the relegation battle intensifies.
