However, reports suggest that Kotoko and Aduana played almost the entire first-half with 10 men due to superstitious believes.

The Porcupine Warriors are said to have began the game without Martin Antwi, despite the player being named in the starting line-up.

Meanwhile, Aduana Stars also kickstarted the match with Farouk Adams sitting on the touchline despite also being named in the side’s starting X1.
