The home side rallied back and leveled the scores of the game in the  40th minute through Hagan Frimpong who connected beautifully to a cross from David Oduro.

Both sides were unable to add to the scores as the first half ended 1-1.

After recess, the home side Accra Lions upped the ante in search of the elusive winner as Samartex sat  deep in their  own half repelling all that was thrown at them by their host.
