Matchday 19 wrap: Tema Youth save Wafa's blushes

Leaders Wafa failed to pick maximum points but are still lucky enough to hold on to the first spot as the Ghana Premier League entered matchday 19 this weekend.

The Academy Boys were held to a goalless draw away by bottom-placed Bolga All Stars, but with second-placed Aduana Stars falling 1-0 at Tema Youth, Klavs Rasmussen's charges can afford to breathe a sigh of relief.

Theophilous Ogoe's penalty condemned the Ogya Boys to their third defeat of the season. The top two are now separated by three points.
