FC Samartex 1996 delivered the most emphatic result, beating Basake Holy Stars 3–1 in a dominant home performance, while Swedru All Blacks showed resilience to claim a 2–1 win over Vision FC.
The only draw of the round came in a tightly contested goalless match between Aduana FCand Heart of Lions, where both defences stood firm.
