In an exciting Ghana Premier League encounter, RTU (Real Tamale United) and top-flight returnees Kpando Heart of Lions battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw at the Aliu Mahama Stadium on Sunday, October 1, 2023.
A notable change in the RTU lineup was Hafiz Mohammed stepping in for the injured Mankuyeli, setting the stage for an intriguing contest.
The action unfolded quickly as Owusu Afriyie, representing RTU, fired his team into the lead just five minutes into the game. However, Lions’ skipper, Ebenezer Annan, had other plans and managed to restore parity with an equalizer just before the halftime whistle, on the 41st minute mark.
Fatawu Salifu’s squad came tantalizingly close to securing their first victory of the campaign when Asante Seedorf scored to give them the lead on the 71st minute. But the Pride of The North didn’t have to wait long to find the leveler, as Shaibu struck back for Heart of Lions on the 76th minute, setting the stage for a thrilling finish.
For RTU, avoiding defeat at home would be a relief, but Heart of Lions may rue the missed opportunity to secure their first win of the season.
Looking ahead, RTU will be gearing up to host Gold Stars in their next match, while Heart of Lions will have a home fixture against Bofoakwa Tano. The Ghana Premier League continues to deliver exciting and unpredictable football moments, keeping fans eagerly anticipating more thrilling encounters.
