aAduana FC showed champion grit to snatch a dramatic 2-2 draw away at Young Apostles, clawing back from two goals down in a pulsating Ghana Premier League encounter in Wenchi.
The visitors started with authority, controlling possession early on and threatening through veteran striker Bright Adjei, who went close inside the opening exchanges. Remember Boateng followed up moments later with a well-struck free kick that narrowly missed the target.
Aduana’s early dominance eventually gave way as Young Apostles settled into the contest. Richmond Opoku offered the hosts their first real warning, before Mezack Afriyie forced a save at the other end midway through the half.
Just before the interval, Aduana were dealt a major blow when Afriyie was forced off following a nasty collision, with Maxwell Hensen introduced in his place.
The turning point arrived deep into first-half stoppage time. Young Apostles were awarded a penalty, and Opoku kept his nerve to convert calmly, sending the home crowd into raptures.
Both sides made changes after the break, with Aduana throwing on Charles Camara in search of a response. The substitute almost made an instant impact, his teasing delivery just evading a decisive touch.
As the game ticked into its closing stages, Young Apostles looked to have sealed the points when Samuel Peprah fired home to make it 2-0, sparking celebrations around Wenchi.
But Aduana were not done.
Camara struck back soon after to halve the deficit and ignite belief among the visitors. Then, in a dramatic finale, Sidibe arrived to slot home the equaliser, completing a stunning late comeback and silencing the home supporters.
The result hands Aduana a valuable away point and underlines their resilience, while Young Apostles are left to rue a commanding position that slipped away in the dying moments.
