At halftime against the home team Legon Cities in Sogakope, the Anyinase-based club Karela United had a 1-0 lead.

Farouk skillfully sent a pinpoint ball from the right centre to Emmanuel Boakye to break the scoreless tie in the 35th minute of play. The pride of Anyinase, despite having little possession but being clinical upfront with one goal at halftime, had missed some excellent opportunities.

After Abdul Rhaman was awarded a free header off the woodwork in the 73rd minute to draw the score for the Royals, their efforts paid off.
Great defensive performance was demonstrated by the various defenders during the very contested football played by both teams. Twene nearly scored on a free-kick that he drilled into the goal, but Hornu was not sufficiently threatened.
1-1 was the final score.
