Rospak SC lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, designed to provide a solid defensive base while allowing for fluid attacking transitions. Evans Blay took his position in goal, shielded by a back four comprising Peter Arhin on the right, Philip Yankson and Ernest Arhin in central defence, and Emmanuel McCarthy on the left. Benjamin Ofori played as the lone central midfielder, tasked with linking play between defence and attack. Ahead of him, the midfield quartet featured Joseph Ntow on the right, Derrick Asare Junior in the central attacking role, Kofi Anthony on the left, and Francis Havor supporting the lone striker, John Amoah.

The substitutes for Rospak SC included Osman Assan, Emmanuel Allotey, Memphis Boadi, and Reuben Tetteh, who would be called upon as the match progressed.

The goal, described as a "screamer," sent the home crowd into raptures and shifted the momentum firmly in Rospak's favour.

However, the joy was short-lived as Ntow was forced off due to injury in the 72nd minute, with Memphis Boadi stepping in to replace him. Rospak SC continued to defend their slender lead, with Kwamu Future Stars pushing for an equaliser but failing to penetrate a resolute backline.

In the dying moments of the match, Rospak SC made their final substitution, introducing Reuben Tetteh for John Amoah in the 93rd minute, a tactical move to shore up their defence as they sought to maintain their advantage.
