Bibiani Gold Stars and Kotoko shared the spoils in a nerve-racking encounter in week twenty of the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

After losing to Bechem United, the home team was coming into the game with the objective of picking all three points against a Kotoko side that had just picked a solitary win in their last five away games.

The game started with a lot of attacking intensity from both teams with the idea of unsettling each other, but chances were few between the two teams as the first half ended goalless.

At some point of the game, it was Kotoko against the host goalkeeper, Emmanuel Kobi, who was on hand to scupper a lot of timely saves to keep his side in the game.

He was on hand to make saves from Guinean import Morifing Donzo and new recruit from Division One, Dogo Yakubu’s curling effort to keep the game goalless.

GoldStars will shrug it off with Berekum Chelsea at the Golden City Park in the next league fixture.

Meanwhile, Kotoko, third on the log with 32 points, will be at Baba Yara Sports Stadium and will have the returning Albert Amoah back in the stead against Basake Holy Stars.

Black Queens head coach Lars Kim Björkegren has described the path to qualifying for the 2028 Olympic Games as “really tough” but says he “believes in the girls” to get the job done.

The Queens strolled past Mauritius 10-0 to progress to the next phase and now will face Zambia in the third round, scheduled for 23 February to 6 March 2027.

“We have the potential to go all the way,” Björkegren said.

“In football, there is no easy game, especially when it comes to qualifying for the Olympics, as only two countries from Africa will go to Los Angeles.

“It is really tough to get there; we need to win. I believe in the girls, and I think we [will] be there.”

The Black Queens have never qualified for the Olympic Games in the country’s history.

Just two slots are available for African teams.
