Kwame Opoku emerged as the hero for the Porcupine Warriors, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from Dreams FC to score from close range. He had earlier spurned a good chance, but showed good composure when the opportunity arose.

The striker expertly placed a left-footed shot past Dreams FC goalkeeper Osman Rahman after the visitors failed to fully clear a dangerous ball into their box.
