Coach Evans Adotey put out a strong starting berth, which had BlackStars duo, Jonathan Sowah, Fatawu Hamidu, Manuel Mantey, Joshua Agyemang, Kofi Asmah, and others.
The early exchanges of the game were nervy and tense as both teams were still studying each other’s pattern of play and tactics.
In thirty minutes, the host had created a few chances, through Jonathan Sowah, and Jean Vital but due to poor decision-making and ill luck, they could not find the back of the net.

Six minutes to end the first half, Anobaah was subbed off for the enterprising Kofi Babil but his introduction did little to influence the game as it ended goalless for the first department of the game.
The second half saw the host put up a splendid performance, Jonathan Sowah with a fine opportunity to put the host in front but his chances went begging.
Two minutes later, Kofi Babil made the most of his effort as his spectacular strike found the back of the net, the host, 1-0 up.
Godknows, Bature was subbed on for Joshua Agyemang and Osah Tetteh in the 59th minute of the game.
