The teams two headed into the match with a perfect defensive record this season. But AshantiGold for the first time conceded when Kofi Owusu scored in the 52nd minute following an error by goalkeeper Frank Boateng. 

Kofi Owusu's second-half strike propelled Chelsea to their fourth win of the 2019/20 which also handed the AshantiGold their first defeat.
