Accra Lions top marksman Evans Etti opened the scoring in the 5th minute to take his season tally to six.

In Akosombo, Tema Youth kept the chase on the leaders following a 2-1 win against Krystal Palace at the Akotex park. Appiah brothers, Daniel and Stephen Appiah scored to condemn Palace to a 2-1 defeat in their own backyard.
