Medeama SC scored a decisive goal early in the second half, which proved to be the only and winning goal of the match, resulting in pivotal three points for the away side.

Accra Great Olympics dominated the corner kick numbers, securing eight corners compared to Medeama SC's single one. This significantly more significant reach for goal opportunities for the home side, however, unfortunately, didn't lead to any successful conversions into goals.

Regarding offsides, the home team had twice the number accounted to them compared to Medeama SC, racking up four offsides to Medeama's two.

The crucial turning point in the match was undoubtedly the away team's goal at 01:36:31 into the second half.
