The game between FC Samartex 1996 and Nsoatreman FC was canceled because of rain on Sunday. And was played in the early hours of Monday.
It took only two minutes for Akwesi Sarpong to put Samartex in the lead and nine minutes later, Felix Koduah doubled the lead for the home side. Nsoatreman came back stronger in the second half and tried so hard but could not secure even a consolation goal.
Kumasi Asante Kotoko is also out of the country on international missions in the USA so their game with Legon Cities has been postponed.
