Draw against Hearts of Oak is better – Berekum Chelsea goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi

Berekum Chelsea goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi has expressed satisfaction with his outfit stalemate against Hearts of Oak in matchday 23 of the Ghana Premier League campaign.

The Bibires held the Phobians to a goalless draw in an engaging encounter at the University of Ghana Stadium, Legon, on Sunday.

Both sides created opportunities and could have taken all three points, but a lack of clinical finishing and resolute defending ensured the match ended without goals.

Hearts goalkeeper Benjamin Asare produced an important save in the first half to keep the visitors at bay, while Berekum Chelsea defender Mohammed Seidu made a crucial goal-line clearance to deny the Phobians the opener.

Chelsea goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi also played his part, pulling off an excellent save to stop Mawuli Wayo as Hearts pushed for a breakthrough.

Speaking after the match, Ofori, a former shot stopper for Kotoko and Hearts of Oak asserted his outfit securing a point against Hearts of Oak is better for the team.

“It wasn’t an easy game for us. Hearts of Oak is a compact team and to get a point from away is better for us. We will go back and work towards our next game in the league” he said.

The dropped points leave Hearts five behind league leaders Medeama, while Berekum remain 15th on the table, three points adrift of safety as the relegation battle intensifies.

Coach Samuel Boadu and his charges will play host to Karela United in matchday 24 of the Premier League.
