Premier Bet Dedza Dynamos denied Ekhaya FC an opportunity to move closer to the top spot on the TNM Super League log table after they played out a 0-0 draw at Dedza Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Cowboys were targeting a successive victory as they looked to go level on 22 points with second placed Mighty Wanderers and two points behind league leaders FCB Nyasa Big Bullets.
However, both Ekhaya and the home side had very few chances to find the back of the net as the draw proved to be a fair result for both sides.
Dedza’s Gif Magola came closest to breaking the deadlock when his shot missed the target by an inch early in the second half.
After the match, Dedza Dynamos’ player Edward Dakalira was voted man of the match.
The draw leaves Ekhaya in third place on 20 points and Dedza in seventh with 14 points after playing 10 and 11 matches respectively.
In other matches played on Saturday, Frank Phiri scored the only goal of the match as Creck Sporting beat Moyale Barraks 1-0 at Aubrey Dimba Stadium.
