Tempers flared on the sidelines as Legon Cities’ coach, Paa Kwesi Fabin, expressed frustration after a penalty call was waved off by the referee.

As the game progressed, Lions intensified their attacks in the second half, but Legon Cities’ defense remained resolute, thwarting all attempts to breach their goal.
