Dreams FC and Hearts of Oak shared the spoils after a goalless draw in their Ghana Premier League Matchday 5 encounter at the University of Ghana Stadium on Saturday.
Dreams created several opportunities, particularly in the second half. Joel Agbovi came close to opening the scoring but was denied by Hearts goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, who was again called into action when Razak unleashed a powerful effort.
Mohammed Shaban also picked out Razak with a fine pass, but the forward failed to make the necessary connection as another promising opportunity went begging.
The Phobians had their moments at the other end. Kwesi Asmah drove forward and tested Rahman Osman, while Yaw Baafi found himself one-on-one with the Dreams goalkeeper but could not finish the chance.
Chris also tested the Hearts defence with a powerful free-kick, but the effort was blocked by the defensive wall.
Hearts had started the season with a 4-0 win over Berekum Chelsea and a 2-1 victory at Bibiani Gold Stars but have since drawn 0-0 with Bechem United, lost 1-0 to Karela United and now been held by Dreams.
Hearts coach Nebojša Kapor admitted his side struggled with their execution in attack.
“We made a lot of technical mistakes in the final third in the first half. We tried to fix them after the break, but it didn’t work. Hopefully, we can address these issues before our next match,” Kapor said after the game.
Dreams FC center-back Kofi Junior Kumah was awarded the NASCO Man of the Match.
The result means Dreams FC are still searching for their first league win after five matches, while Hearts of Oak have now gone three consecutive games without scoring.
The Still Believe boys came into the game after defeats to Berekum Chelsea, Gold Stars and Bechem United, with their only point coming from a draw against Medeama SC.
They were hoping to use home advantage to turn their fortunes around but again struggled to find the breakthrough.
Dreams remain winless, while Hearts will now look to rediscover their scoring touch
