Ghana Premier League champions FC Samartex were held to a 1-1 draw at the Nsenkyire Sports Arena by Bibiani Gold Stars in an outstanding game played on Wednesday, October 2.
It was one of two outstanding games played on the day. Asante Kotoko took on Nsoatreman FC in the other game.
The match was postponed as a result of the champions’ participation in the 2024/25 CAF Champions League qualifiers.
With their exit at the expense of Morocco’s Raja Casablanca, all was set for them to clear their outstanding domestic games.
Since their return to the local league, the champions have only won one match.
