Despite earning a point from their contest at the Accra Stadium, the Phobians now trail their rivals by 12 points.

The Phobians will rue the missed opportunities that came their way before an expectant home crowd as Kotoko pull away.

At the Wa Park, Wa All Stars also shared the spoils with Aduana Stars as their games finished 1-1.
