Liberty Professionals held Accra Hearts of Oak to a goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium in the matchday ten of the ongoing Ghana Football Association (GFA) Normalisation Committee Special Competition.

Liberty played with ten men in the entire second half, after Michael Enu was red carded on the 45th-minute mark in the first half.

Hearts started the game in the front foot, piling pressure on Liberty in search of an early goal, but Liberty goalie Ganiwu Shaibu proved his worth in post, as he stood between Hearts and victory.

Hearts kept the pressure on, but to no avail as Liberty also found their rhythm later by stringing some decent passes together.

Michael Sarpong weaved through the defence of Hearts after a one-two pass with Esso, but Ganiwu proved equal to the task by thwarting their efforts to deny the home side first goal.

Hearts got an opportunity to open the scoring in the 42nd minute through a penalty, but striker Joseph Esso's kick hit the crossbar, to end the first half.

Hearts came into the second half stronger side to get the needed goal to boost their chances of retaining the top spot of Zone B in the Special competition.

Coach Kim Grant introduced Kofi Kordzi, BlessSelasie and Malik Akowuah in search of a goal but all proved futile as the resilient defence of liberty stood tall on the day.

The game saw both sides exhausting all substitutions, Liberty steals time by engaging in antics to ensure they go home with at least a point and this worked for them.
