Ebusua Dwarfs threw away a two-goal lead to share the spoils with rejuvenated WA All Stars at the Cape Coast stadium on Sunday.
The highly competitive game saw the outgoing champions fight back twice to claim a deserved point much to the dismay of Dwarfs fans, who defied the pouring rain to support their team.
Stephen Bentil opened the scoring for the Crabs with an emphatic strike from close range and they held on till half time.
