Faustina Akpo leaves it late for Halifax Ladies in a 1-1 draw at home to Soccer Intellectuals.
Halifax Ladies and Soccer Intellectuals played out a grim stalemate at the Tema Sports stadium in the match the day 3 of the national women’s league.

The first half ended with both teams having a fairly balanced share of the ball but could not create any decent scoring opportunities.
Regina Sam turned the volume up a notch with a curling right footer placed perfectly into the left-hand corner of Abigail Tawiah’s goal in the 67th minute of the second half.
It almost looked like a home run for the visitors when Faustina Akpo slotted home the equalizer in the 88th minute through a counter ball where Goalkeeper Selina Abalansa was beating to it completely.
This result becomes the second drawn game for Halifax Ladies leaving them at 5 points after three games whereas Soccer Intellectuals move to 7points after three games.
