GOLDFIELDS HOLD RTU

Tamale Obuasi Goldfields put up an impressive second half performance to hold real Tamale united (RTU) to a 1-1 drawn game in their match played at the Tamale Kaladan park. The well-attended match saw RTU mounting an early pressure on Goldfields and scoring first in the 13th minute. Outside left Hamza Mohammed's shot at goal deflected off a Goldfields defender into the net. RTU continued the onslaught but were unfortunate not to increase the tally when inside left Shamo Abbey's lob over on-rushing goalie Adjei Agyemang missed the target in the 27th minute. Both teams made two changes each on resumption but it was Goldfields who were more aggressive. They wasted a scoring chance in the 69th minute when outside left Isaac Quainoo's shot hit the woodwork. Goldfields kept on piling pressure till they snatched the equaliser in the 72nd minute through outside right Lawrence Adjei. gri
