Inter Allies’ push for an equalizer backfired as the hosts took control of the game after the confidence boosting opener. Dwarfs then doubled their lead after being handed a free kick in an advantageous position.

Five minutes later Inter Allies responded with yet another world class free-kick strike to reduce the deficit. Midfielder Gockel Ahortor who had scored a free kick in the previous game against Hearts of Oak proved mastering the art of scoring from such situations as he bent his effort over the wall to beat a confused Feank Andoh in post for Dwarfs. 2-1.

Dwarfs managed to keep the status quo to end the first half with their 2-1 lead.
Coach J.E Sarpong effected an early substitution at the beginning of second half as he introduced striker Bright Luqman for Thomas Esso.
Luqman’s introduction further strengthened the Dwarfs front line and he soon showed his predating best 8 minutes into the second.half as he broke free to lob over an onrushing Inter Allies goalkeeper to restore a 2-goal lead for his side.
