The goal was Edubiase’s first point and goal away from home this season.

Berekum Chelsea earned the bragging rights of Brong Ahafo after nicking a narrow 1-0 win over Aduana Stars at the Golden City Park. Striker Awisome Fumador struck the only goal of the game midway through the second-half to claim victory for Solomon Odwo's side. The defeat is the first under Romania Aristica Cioaba who had led the Dormaa side to pick up seven points from the available nine.

Wa All Stars stayed top of the league after 1-0 victory visiting Ebusua Dwarfs at the Wa Park. Kofi Yeboah scored the only game with a ferocious strike ten minutes into the second half.  Dwarfs dominated the game in the opening department of the game and were unlucky to take over. The Cape Coast side however sat back as time went on inviting pressure from their hosts. It took a classy effort from Yeboah to separate both sides as Dwarfs lose yet again away.


 
Hearts of Oak produced a strong defensive display to pick up a point against Techiman City at Techiman. The Techiman side had the better of the game and created  more chances but a combination of woeful finishing and good defending ended the game in a stalemate. Exciting playmaker Baba Mahama was a thorn in the flesh of the Phobians as he constantly drew rings around the Hearts defence but the only thing lacking in his play was the end product.He should have opened the scoring minutes before halftime but his effort was very feeble as he allowed goalkeeper Soulama Abdoulaye to gather the ball. Foovi Aguidi, who was brought on at halftime to replace Samuel Yeboah, had a  good chance to give the Phobians the lead but surprisingly missed to the dismay of the fans. There were few chances between both sides after leaving the game to end in a stalemate.
