In his instant match report, referee Mobo said he was assaulted by Blue Angel midfielder Adolphus Tarpeh in the presence of match commissioner Cllr. Joseph M. Kollie after the match.

 

Gibson Freeman scored a hat-trick for Stages FC, who secured a second win in a 3-2 victory over Jai FC in Kakata on 26 February.
