Rospak SC lined up in a 4-1-3-2 formation, designed to balance defensive solidity with attacking flair. Emmanuel Afful took his position as the goalkeeper, shielded by a back four comprising Godwin Eshun on the right, Philip Yankson and Ernest Arhin in central defence, and Peter Arhin on the left. Osman Assan played as the lone central midfielder, tasked with linking defence and attack.

The substitutes for Rospak included Samuel Bayitse, Reuben Tetteh, Joseph Ntow, and Derrick Asare Junior, who were poised to make an impact should the need arise.
The first half saw Rospak SC take control of the game early on, and their efforts bore fruit in the 28th minute when Kwabena Boakye opened the scoring. A deft short pass from John Amoah allowed Boakye to tap in from close range, sending the Rospak fans into raptures. UCC Youngsters FC struggled to respond effectively, and as the half progressed, tensions rose, culminating in yellow cards for Emmanuel Quarshie and Memphis Boadi for bad tackles just before the interval.
As the teams headed into half-time with Rospak leading 1-0, the second half began with a substitution for Rospak, as Samuel Bayitse replaced the injured Godwin Eshun.

In the dying moments of the match, Rospak sealed their victory with a stunning goal from John Amoah. In the 90th minute, he unleashed a powerful left-footed strike from outside the area, assisted by a clever flick from Kofi Anthony, doubling Rospak's lead and effectively ending UCC Youngsters FC's hopes of a comeback.
As the match entered added time, Derrick Asare Junior was brought on for John Amoah in a tactical switch, allowing Rospak to see out the remaining minutes with a firm grip on the game. The final whistle confirmed Rospak SC's 2-0 triumph, a result that not only highlighted their attacking capabilities but also their defensive resilience against a spirited UCC Youngsters FC side.
