Bechem United's search for their first win of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League campaign continues in disappointing fashion after a second consecutive goalless draw, this time against Aduana Stars at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park on Sunday afternoon.
Both teams fought hard from the outset, with Bechem eager to break their winless run following a stalemate with Nations FC in their opening match. The home crowd was electric, providing a raucous atmosphere that aimed to spur their team on to victory.
Despite the strong support, neither side managed to find the back of the net by halftime. Bechem's inability to score was evident, and the pressure was mounting on the Hunters to break down the Aduana defense.
The second half saw Bechem make several changes, introducing Emmanuel Owusu, Kofi Tompou, and Cephas Kofi Mantey to inject fresh energy into the game. The trio brought new attacking flair and provided Bechem with a much-needed impetus in the attacking third.
Aduana also responded by bringing on Gideon Boateng and Emmanuel Peprah, as both teams sought to gain the ascendancy in the match. However, the tactical shifts and substitutions failed to yield any clear scoring opportunities for either side, leaving the game evenly balanced and destined for a draw.
Despite the changes, Bechem continued to struggle to create clear-cut chances, much to the dismay of the home faithful. The frustration was palpable as the match drew to a close, with Bechem forced to settle for a second consecutive goalless draw.
The result leaves Bechem United still searching for their first win of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League campaign. The Hunters will now look ahead to their upcoming fixture against Hearts of Oak in Accra, a game that promises to be an exciting encounter. Aduana, on the other hand, will prepare to face Nations FC at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park in Dormaa Ahenkro.
