In Week 2 of the Ghana Premier League, Hearts of Oak<\/strong> failed to find the net for the second straight time as they drew goalless at home to Medeama<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hearts midfielder Malik Akowuah was facing his former team for the first time since leaving in the off-season but his efforts were not enough to give the Phobians a breakthrough.<\/p>\n

Towards the end of the match, Hearts had a goal-bound header from Alex Kouassi tipped away by Medeama goalie Eric Ofori Antwi.<\/p>\n

Hearts have two points from their first games while Medeama have four points.<\/p>\n

Berekum Chelsea<\/strong> and Asante Kotoko<\/strong> played a goalless draw at the Golden City Park.<\/p>\n

The two teams struggled to find clear-cut chances initially but the game livened up and it was Kotoko who dominated the possession but they could not score.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Gyamfi put up a good display for the Reds but they had moments of panic as Chelsea sought the winner but Felix Annan was there to help Kotoko.<\/p>\n

The draw gives them four points from the first two matches played while Berekum Chelsea got their first point of the season.<\/p>\n

WAFA<\/strong> went 30 home games unbeaten after they beat Dwarfs<\/strong> 2-0 in Sogakope.<\/p>\n

It took the home side 40 minutes to find the net through the effort of Gideon Waja. 40 minutes later, Komlan Agbegniadan scored the second to kill Dwarfs off.<\/p>\n

WAFA picked up their first win while Dwarfs have won one and lost one so far.<\/p>\n

Aduana Stars<\/strong> stunned Elmina Sharks<\/strong> 1-0 at the Ndoum Stadium thanks to a first half goal from Godfred Saka.<\/p>\n

The right back was the first to head home after a free kick was blocked in the area.<\/p>\n

The win sends Aduana to the top of the league table with 6 points while are yet to win a match.<\/p>\n

In Dansoman, Liberty Professionals<\/strong> recovered from losing to Asante Kotoko to beat Inter Allies<\/strong> 2-0.<\/p>\n
