The former Premier League topscorer could not make the numerous opportunities count as Bechem failed in their attempt to win their first away game of the season

Legon Cities shared the spoils goalless with Bechem United on matchday thirteen of Ghana Premier League at the El Wak Sports Stadium in Accra on Monday.

After failing to record a win in their previous two visits against Great Olympics and Hearts of Oak, Bechem were poised to rewrite the story this time around against Legon who have been struggling to grind results especially at home.

It was Bechem who had the first chance at goal when Augustine Okrah was released by Francis Twene early in the game but the former Asante Kotoko forward saw his feeble shot saved by Legon goalkeeper William Emmanuel Essu.

Bechem thought they have been awarded a penalty when Legon defender Mohammed Issaka appeared to have handled the ball inside his box but the referee insisted it was outside the box.

Okrah fluffed yet another opportunity to put Bechem ahead as his shot went straight to goalkeeper Essu.

Croster Obuor Adu teared away from his marker and created a chance for Legon by the 33rd minute but his final pass to his teammate to score was blocked by Bechem defender Osei Kuffour.

Okrah was played through once again after the break but the forward failed to beat onrushing goalkeeper Essu after coming one-on-one with him.

Late in the game, Twene out-muscled his marker on the left flank but the youngster could not locate his teammate for a tap in.

Bechem are still fifth on the log with 22 points, five points behind Asante Kotoko while Legon have now moved to 13th position with 14 points, one point above relegation zone.
