Ashanti aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 423 league minutes without a goal. S. Osei was the last player to find the net.

Ashanti Gold failed to get anything from their last game, a Premier League home match vs Medeama (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-1. Late heartbreak for Ashanti in the Medeama match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime.
