Despite the early opening goal, Pillars were unable to increase their advantage as they failed to utilise the other chances they created until half time. Blay who had been threatening all day kept his head down to produce a low header beyond the helpless Kano Pillars goalkeeper Suraj Ayeleso to restore parity for his team.Thereafter Asiamah won a free kick and fired it straight into the net to give Kotoko a 2-1 lead.

Moments afterwards old-war horse Gambo Muhammad who came off the bench to replace injured Rahaqquh Adam scored what proved to be the winner.
