In the second spell, it was the same story, as the two sides had plenty of scoring opportunities but couldn’t find the back of the net.
Both goalkeepers were also superb as they kept their sides in the game.
The wet ground condition made it difficult for the two teams who tried all they could to break the deadlock in front of a packed crowd.
