Tema Youth fought twice from behind to earn a 2-2 draw with Mighty Jets at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday in the Ghana Premier League.
Experienced midfielder Hamza Abdulai converted a 75th minute penalty to secure one point for Tema Youth and stretch their unbeaten run to four games.
Jacob Kwao carved the visitors open on 12 minutes with a spectacular finish but Benjamin Terry brought Youth back into the game.
Former Ghana Under-20 striker Kofi Owusu put Mighty Jets back into the driving seat on 21 minutes when he steered home a perfectly taken drive from the left side.
Jets were more poised in the first half and looked likely to come out of this game victorious with former Hearts of Oak duo Hassan Mohammed and Daniel Coleman manning the backline.
However, the first incident of the game that attracted attention was a 7th minute caution that went to Hassan Mohammed for a vicious challenge on Emmanuel Boateng.
The hard-tackling midfielder threw his boot into the ribs of the Tema Youth midfielder and the 19-year-old reacted dramatically.
Jets shot themselves into the lead when Tamimu Muntari initiated a nice move from the flanks.
He sent a diagonal pass into the centre to Jacob Kwao who drilled a powerful low drive for the opener.
The jubilation at the Mighty Jets dug-out was cut short when Benjamin Terry equalised for the visitors.
Jets showed their determination to scrap all three points from this fixture when former Okwahu United striker Owusu restored their lead after a sublime move from midfield.
Youth came into the match after recess with some improve display in midfield but were unable to score until 75 minutes and from the spot.
Striker Francis Narh was fouled in the box and referee Samuel Kyeremeh awarded a penalty kick to the guests.
Jets staged a vehement protest but the referee insisted on his decision.
Abdulai Hamza stepped up to dispatch the kick and snatch a point for his side.
