Right on the 90, the Bibires had a glorious chance to nick an away victory via spot-kick but Kelvin Obeng missed.
The game seemed set for a 2-2 draw but Baba Kushibo emerged with the clincher for RTU deep into stoppage time – ending Berekum Chelsea’s match unbeaten run.
RTU stay 15th despite moving to 25 points from 23 matches. Berekum Chelsea are also in 10th position with 30 points and have played a game less.
