The encounter began with both teams showing determination. Nsoatreman SC, who finished an impressive fourth in the recently concluded Ghana Premier League, were keen to add a trophy to their successful season.
On the other hand, Bofoakwa Tano, who faced the heartbreak of relegation from the top flight after a hard-fought return following 16 years, saw this match as a chance to salvage their season.
