Striker Kwame Opoku was named in the Kotoko starting XI, despite media rumours of having signed a four-year deal with Algerian side USM Alger.
Faisal talisman Kwame Peprah, who has been linked to Hearts of Oak and Kotoko as potential replacements for Opoku, unsurprisingly led his outfit.
Whereas Opoku came into the game with six goals to his name, Peprah boasted nine strikes.
Augustine Okrah was the earliest to go close to finding the back of the net, his free-kick going just wide in the third minute.
A minute later at the other end, Faisal similarly replied with a Richard Wiafe free-kick which struck the upright.
