The match became more competitive after the restart, with both teams searching for the opening goal. Legon Cities enjoyed more possession in midfield through quick passing, but struggled to create clear-cut chances.
Accra Lions broke the deadlock just three minutes into the second half when Seidu Bassit finished from close range after a well-worked attacking move.
Legon Cities pressed for an equaliser in the closing stages, but the Accra Lions defence remained resolute to preserve the slender advantage and secure all three points.
