Newly promoted Young Apostles FC earned their first point of the season after a goalless draw against Nations FC at the Wenchi Park in Week 2 of the Ghana Premier League. Both teams showed determination but lacked the finishing touch to secure a win.
The match started with both teams eager to make an impact, as Young Apostles sought their first points in the top flight. The home side showed attacking intent, utilizing the wings and creating early chances, but they struggled to break down a well-organized Nations FC defense. The visitors also had their share of possession and tested the Apostles’ defense with a few long-range efforts, but neither team could capitalize on their chances.
The second half saw increased intensity as Young Apostles pushed forward in search of a winning goal. They came close on a couple of occasions, forcing Nations FC’s goalkeeper into crucial saves. Nations FC, however, remained composed and looked to catch the hosts on the counter-attack, but they too were unable to find a breakthrough.
Both teams made substitutions late in the game to add fresh legs, but the defensive efforts from both sides ensured the match ended in a goalless draw.
The result marks Young Apostles FC’s first point in the Ghana Premier League, a positive step as they adapt to the top tier. Nations FC, on the other hand, will feel they could have done more to claim all three points, but they will be satisfied with the clean sheet on the road.
