Swedru All Blacks extended their winless run to four matches after being held to a frustrating 0-0 draw by Hearts of Oak at the Swedru Sports Stadium on Saturday afternoon, despite creating the better chances in a lively Ghana Premier League encounter.
The league returnees, desperate to halt their difficult run of results, produced one of their most spirited performances of the campaign.
Backed by their vibrant home supporters, All Blacks controlled large spells of the game and carved out the clearer openings.
Their closest moment came in the latter stages of the first half when a powerful effort beat goalkeeper Solomon Agbasi but crashed off the upright, leaving the home fans stunned.
Hearts, still shaking off the disappointment of their Super Clash loss to Asante Kotoko, looked second-best for long periods but relied on their defensive solidity to avoid a second consecutive defeat.
Agbasi proved decisive, making a couple of important saves to deny All Blacks, especially late in the game when the hosts pushed hard for a winner.
Despite their dominance, All Blacks could not convert their opportunities and remain stuck in a worrying run, with just one victory in their last eight matches.
The point, however, keeps their strong home record intact.
Hearts, now unbeaten in five away matches, leave Swedru relieved, though the result slows their momentum in the title chase.
