The 2022/23 Ghana Premier League (GPL) match-day 3 round of games saw newcomers Kotoku Royals and Nsoatreman FC share the spoils with a goalless game on Sunday.
The two sides have each won once in the league and a chance to claim a second victory was well offered.
But it was Nsoatreman who could count their luck due to the penalty miss in the 69th minute of the clash by their hosts.
Kotoku Royals starting lineup featured skipper Kingsley Afriyie, Fawzi Ali in defence and Augustine Boakye as the striker.
