In the said fixture, Medeama shot ahead twice through Derick Fordjour’s 5th minute and Yussif Mubarik’s 19th penalty kick. Asante Kotoko however fought back to draw level from the boots of Peter Amidu Acquah and Samba O’neil.

According to the GFA, Kotoko were found guilty of failing to ensure the safety of match officials. The club was also cited for allowing supporters to threaten and attack officials, as well as permitting unauthorized persons access to restricted areas, including the tunnel.
