Legon Cities striker Jonah Attuquaye won the Man of the Match gong after Sunday's 2-0 win over Aduana Stars at the Accra Sports Stadium.
He helped the Royals take the lead in the 13th minute by atoning for an earlier miss.
A brilliant assist from Matthew Anim Cudjoe set him up with the goalkeeper and Attuquaye scooped it over the on-rushing goalkeeper Massawudu Inusah.
He could have registered a quick brace in the first half but his header on a Richmond Antwi cross from the right side was too feeble to beat Inusah.
Cudjoe was sublime in the first half and just after the hour mark he threaded a defence splitting pass on goal but it was over-hit and Antwi couldn't reach it.
Legon Cities were unlucky to have doubled their lead in the 34th minute when Antwi's connection from 12 yards came off the side post and later collected
Cudjoe started the move with another sublime pass which found Attuquaye who squared it Antwi but couldn't hit the back of the net.
In the second half it was see-saw contest with both sides making dangerous moves and Legon Cities striking the cross bar.
Baba Mahama was picked out neatly by an Attuquaye squared pass and his connection smashed the woodwork.
Then Legon Cities were awarded a penalty after Antwi's shot at goal was adjudged to have come off the hand of Brefo.
Defender Joseph Adjei converted the spot kick expertly with goalkeeper Inusah left flat-footed.
