The game was an end to end affair, so the result was a fair reflection of the game.
While at Nkoranza, Ashanti Gold thrashed Eleven Wonders 3-0 on Friday morning in a replay of their fixture which was rained off on Thursday at the same venue.
The game was continued from the 40th minute, per the new rule. Appiah McCarthy handed the Miners the only goal on Thursday and they added two more goals on Friday through Emmanuel Owusu’s brace.
Medeama despite a 2-0 victory against Berekum Chelsea missed out on the last four. They amassed 22 points, which put them on level pegging with Asante Kotoko, yet the tie was separated via the application of the head to head rules- Medeama beat Kotoko 1-0 at Tarkwa and in the reverse fixture the Porcupines hammered them 2-0.
AshGold have finished top of zone A with 23 points.
