Akatsi All Stars after 3 games with Yadzo Oti Warriors, Roberto FC, and Volta Rangers topped Group A with six points 2 goals, while Home Stars FC lost no match during the super middle league. They amassed 9 points with 6 goals.
The Champions of Champions between the two top teams produced no goal in both halves, with their attackers missing the chances that came their way.
Several efforts in a bid to break the deadlock were wasted as both teams settled on penalties to determine the winner.
The lots went in favor of Akatsi All Stars by 3-1 to earn a maiden promotion to the National Division One, which was greeted with massive celebrations from the playing body, management, and fans of Akatsi based team.
