ALL STARS, KOTOKO SHARE HONOURS (BACK PAGE, FEB 8, 2010)

Wa All Stars for the third time running failed to beat Kumasi Asante Kotoko at home since joining the Premier League.
In a game which saw both teams trying to out-play each other, both teams played with sheer bravado and determination.
They were, however, lucky when a close range shot from the foot of All Stars Ebenezer Adjei in the 83rd minute hit the wood works denying the homesters their first victory over the Kumasi lads.
After taking the game to the visitors right from the blast of Koforidua-based refree Vincent Otoo’s whistle, Wa All Stars nearly got their first goal in the 29th minute when a Nathaniel Asamoah’s header missed the post narrowly.
This awakened the visitors who organised themselves very well in defence and matched the homesters in all departments of the game.
When played resumed in the second half, Kotoko lifted their game and kept the pressure on the homesters but were unlucky when Daniel Nii Baah’s volley was beautifully parried away by David Dadzie in post for All Stars.
 After a few exchanges All Stars took charge of the game and mounted incessant raids in their opponents area much to the admiration of the ecstatic home fans who thronged the stadium in their numbers for the first time in many months.
