The introduction of Bofoakwa’s captain and talisman, Saaka Dauda, brought some transformation to his side, but this did not translate into goals for his team.
The match concluded with Bofoakwa Tano fans expressing their frustration over some decisions made by the centre referee, Robert Musey with a fan who found himself on the picch after the man hit the referee, drawing the attention of the security personnel who escorted him to the dressing room.

Even the Sunyani East Ambulance with registration number GV 31-20, which was on duty at the park, was not exempted from the troubles as some attacked and threw stones at it causing damage to the screen, when it was transferring Nsoatreman’s coach for medical services.
