Berekum Chelsea's two-game scoring spree ended in a 0-0 draw as FC Samartex held firm to extend their unbeaten run in the fixture to six.
Ghana Premier League Week 8 delivered a tense, tight stalemate in Berekum, where FC Samartex 1996 left the Golden City Park with a hard-earned 0-0 draw against Berekum Chelsea on Sunday.
The Bibires arrived chasing a third straight league win after beating Debibi United and Heart of Lions, scoring five goals without reply across those two outings. At home, where they have been formidable in recent months, they were expected to keep the goals flowing. Instead, they could not turn their openings into a breakthrough, and the visitors made sure the momentum stalled.
Samartex came in with confidence of their own, having edged defending champions Medeama SC 2-1 in their previous league match. The Timber Giants showed the same resolve on the road, staying organized and refusing to crack under pressure from the hosts.
The result stretches Samartex's unbeaten run against Chelsea to six consecutive league meetings, a streak that continues to give them a psychological edge in this fixture. For Berekum Chelsea, the focus now turns to sharpening their finishing, while Samartex will take belief from a valuable away point as the season settles into its rhythm.
