As the 1st leg of Somalia’s supreme football championship enters its third week, either Mogadishu Port FC or the Somali police club ‘Heegan’ were unsuccessful to gain victory in a hotly-contested match on Tuesday which ended in a goalless draw.

Both teams lost more scoring chances, although the port club seemed to have lost many golden chances rather than its opposite ‘Heegan’ which plays in the first division championship representing the Somali police.

Tuesday’s draw meant like a ‘defeat’ to the police club who is in a huge contest with two other powerful clubs ‘Elman and the Daalo airlines-owned club ' SITT’.

The three clubs: Heegan, Elman and SITT are the frontrunners of the tournament with each struggling to win the trophy.

If Heegan were successful in Tuesday’s match they could accumulate nine points with three games, but unfortunately drew with Mogadishu port FC and left with a single point from the stadium. Heegan have now only 7 points in three matches, while Mogadishu port club has only one point from today’s goalless draw with two matches played.

The other two strong clubs: Elman and SITT each having 6 points will clash on Thursday—the match expected to attract the biggest number of fans yet to be seen as tens of thousands of fans from various regions across the country have been pouring into the capital for the past few days.

During Tuesday’s match the below cautions were given.
