Hearts of Oak moved to within a point of the leaders with a 3–0 win over Heart of Lions. Ransford Mensah put Hearts ahead in the second minute before Antwi doubled the lead from a set-piece move. The former Ghana international struck again two minutes after half-time to complete his brace.
Kotoko led at Golden City Park when Adam Inusah converted a penalty on the hour. Berekum Chelsea needed just five minutes to respond through Zackaria Fuseini, and Yussif Bayanalabe struck in the first minute of stoppage time to seal a 2–1 win.
Chelsea moved up to ninth, one place above Kotoko. At the top, Medeama’s narrow win kept them in front, but Hearts’ response to the previous round’s defeat at Debibi United has tightened the race after 10 matches.
