Asante Kotoko managed to secure a 1-0 victory against Samartex FC, with the only goal coming in the first half. The early goal in the 30th minute by Asante Kotoko set the pace for a tense encounter, highlighting their efficiency in converting opportunities. Samartex FC struggled to find the net, which could be partly attributed to their lack of shots on target and pressure applied by Asante Kotoko's defense.

The corner kick statistics reveal Asante Kotoko's domination in terms of attacking intent, with eight corners compared to Samartex FC's three. This consistent pressure, reflected in the corners, created multiple opportunities to threaten Samartex’s defense. However, Samartex managed to hold their ground despite the onslaught, showing organization but ultimately lacking the clinical edge necessary to capitalize on their fewer chances.

Discipline played a crucial role with Samartex FC accruing two yellow cards to Asante Kotoko's one, primarily due to their attempts to disrupt Asante Kotoko's attacking momentum. These cards, especially those in quick succession during the second half, potentially disrupted Samartex's rhythm further when they needed composure to chase the game. Additionally, the offsides against Asante Kotoko were indicative of their proactive but occasionally misplaced attacking runs, a testament to their aggressive forward play that was ultimately decisive for the match outcome.
