Published on: 30 November 2011

Ebusua Dwarfs remained the only unbeaten side in the Ghana top flight after a 0-0 draw with defending champions Berekum Chelsea at the Robert Mensah Park.

Chelsea goalkeeper Abubakar Iddrisu emerged a hero for the champions as he stood between Dwarfs and victory.

The home side were bent of having their noses in front making the first incursion under one minute.

John Arthur combined well with dangerman Seidu Bancey before releasing Haruna Razak but defender Prince Anokye brought him down.

Striker Emmanuel Clottey and skipper Abdul Basit tested the solidity of Dwarfs but Black Stars defender Rashid Sumaila held them in check making two timely clearances.

Bancey got close to opening the scoring for Dwarfs with a powerful header but goalkeeper which Chelsea keeper Iddrisu pulled a great stop.

The greatest moment of offer for Dwarfs to carve the opener arrived a minute later but Bismark Asiedu managed to squander the chance shooting wide from close range.

The game evolved into a battle for supremacy in midfield.

Kwame Frimpong, Seidu Bancey and Bismark Asiedu gagged the space in midfield limiting Chelsea's Samuel Kyere, nimble-footed Solomon Asante to chasing the ball.

Returnee Nana Poku was virtually unanimous in attack as Dwarfs cut the supplies from the midfield.
