Legon Cities shared the spoils with Accra Lions in a pulsating encounter at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on October 25, 2024.

The game, which was almost marred by poor refereeing decisions, saw fans react angrily at the end.

Following a slow start to the game, it was Legon Cities who had the best chance of the half after Williams Kwaku Adjei was left with only goalkeeper Osei Bonsu to beat, but the striker took too much time, allowing the defenders of Accra Lions to dispossess him.

Accra Lions, however, dominated the game, with forward Lucky Nwafor coming close with a header, which ended up with Baba Apiiga firing wide.

Just before half-time, Salman Faris was brilliantly put through by Remember Boateng, but the winger could not get past his marker.

After the break, Accra Lions goalkeeper Osei Bonsu was tested by Albert Amoah.

Halfway through the second half, Accra Lions were awarded a free kick at the edge of the box, which was quickly taken by Remember Boateng before a rebound from Fuzy Taylor was cleared by the hosts.

The game had a tense finish following wrongful refereeing decisions against the visitors.
