Despite both sides creating numerous chances, neither could find the breakthrough in a match that was high on intensity but short on clinical finishing.
By the eighth minute, Kotoko had already threatened from two corners, although their headed efforts lacked precision. Defender Kelvin Osei Asibey made a crucial intervention to deny Kotoko a one-on-one opportunity, while Hearts goalkeeper Benjamin Asare was called into action multiple times in the first half, producing several key saves to keep the hosts level.
Hearts finished the first half the stronger of the two sides, showing greater urgency and cohesion heading into the break.
Despite Hearts of Oak edging possession with 51% and Kotoko registering more attempts on goal (10 to 5), both teams ultimately lacked the clinical edge required to claim all three points.
The draw sees Asante Kotoko maintain their position in fourth place, while Hearts of Oak remain sixth on the table.
For Hearts, the result further dims their already faint title hopes, while Kotoko continue to chase a top-three finish in what remains of the season both sides creating numerous chances, neither could find the breakthrough in a match that was high on intensity but short on clinical finishing.
