The final match day in Group B of the University of Ghana (UG) Corporate Football League on Friday, June 27, delivered everything it promised; intensity, drama, and defining moments.

With semi-final spots on the line, teams gave it their all on a day filled with narrow margins and standout performances.

The day opened with a hard-fought clash between Central Administration and Lancaster Accra.

Central Administration’s Steven Aidoo found the back of the net sealing a crucial 1-0 victory. Their performance capped off a steadily improving campaign, securing 4th place with 12 points.

Lancaster, despite early promise, concluded their run in 7th place with seven points.

In the second fixture, Media General finally found their attacking rhythm, edging past Stanbic Bank 1-0, thanks to a well-taken goal from Richard Zu.

With that win, Media General climbed to 5th place with 11 points, falling just short of a semi-final spot due to goal difference. Stanbic’s story was one of near-misses drawing five games throughout the campaign and finishing 6th overall.

But all eyes were on the evening’s headline clash between National Petroleum Authority (NPA) and Forestry Commission (FC). Both teams entered the pitch knowing what was at stake.

In a match defined by discipline and nerve, a crucial strike from NPA’s Foster Afful sealed a hard-fought 1-0 win for NPA, their sixth victory of the tournament.

The result lifted NPA to the top of Group B with 19 points, edging out Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) on goal difference (+11).

FC, though valiant throughout the competition, finished 3rd with fourteen (14) points and missed a semi-final berth.

The final game of the day saw GCAA take full control against Zenith Bank, cruising to a 2-0 win with goals from Kulley Ebenezer and Samuel Aferi.

With the same 19 points tally as NPA, GCAA finished second in Group B due to an inferior goal difference.

Zenith Bank, winless throughout the group stage, exited the competition in 9th place with just three points.

With the dust settled, these top two from each group will face off in a much-anticipated semi-final clash: National Petroleum Authority vs Union Ghana and Ghana Civil Aviation Authority vs Ghana Armed Forces Officers Sports Club.

The action is on Friday, July 4, 2025, at the University of Ghana Stadium from 5:00 PM.
