First Division League: Northern City and Berekuum City Share Points
Northern City and Berekuum City played out a 1:1 draw in the First Division League on Thursday evening. Both sides entered the fixture having lost their opening matches of the season. By then, the regular season was already underway for the second round of fixtures.
Northern City arrived in seventh place with one defeat from their single game played. Berekuum City sat in eighth position with an identical record — one loss, no points accumulated. The table showed both teams still searching for their first victory of the campaign.
The result meant neither side could claim all three points, though both avoided another defeat. To be fair, the draw offered a respite for home supporters who had watched their team fall 0:1 to Tamale just six days earlier. Berekuum City had suffered a similar fate against Kalibi on the same date.
Northern City's recent history showed more varied results. They had beaten Tamale 2:1 in May, followed by victories over Real Tamale and Sankara Nationals before drawing 3:3 with Bolga Allstars. Berekuum City's record was less encouraging — a win against Techiman Liberty in November 2023, then consecutive defeats.
The current standings placed both clubs in the lower half of the table with equal points. And here's the thing about these early-season positions — one match rarely defines a campaign. Both teams now had a chance to rebuild momentum from this shared point.
