Nine minutes after recess, Asamoah Mensah made it two for Stay Cool with a simple tapping of the ball after an incisive pass from the right wing. After those two goals, Stay Cool were just unstoppable, in the 57th minute, Ensemafa scored his personal second and third for his side after racing to place the ball at the blind side of the goalie.

Emmanuel Nii Adu sealed off the doom for the Warriors' on the stroke of full time when he sliced the ball into the net.

Great Mariners beat Volta Warriors 2-0

Seventeen minutes later, Mariners', Richard Okyere received a pass from a colleague, raced with it and side stepped his marker before placing the ball at the blind side of goalkeeper Ibrahim Osmanu for the second.
