The stage is set for a thrilling 3rd place final in the 2024 DOL Super Cup as Young Apostles take on Techiman Heroes at the Nana Kronamansah Park this Saturday.

Both teams will be looking to end their tournament campaign on a high note after narrowly missing out on a place in the final.

Young Apostles have been one of the standout teams in this year's competition. They kicked off their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Hohoe United, followed by a narrow 1-0 win over Okwawu United. They then displayed their quality with a 2-0 victory over New Edubiase in their final group game, earning a spot in the semifinals.

Despite their impressive run, they fell short against Vision FC, losing on penalties after a goalless draw in both regular and extra time. Now, they have one last chance to showcase their talent and claim the 3rd place title.

Techiman Heroes have also had a commendable run in the tournament. They started with a 1-1 draw against Basake Holy Stars and then delivered an emphatic 4-2 victory over Techiman Liberty. Their 1-0 win against Vision FC in the final group game secured their spot in the semifinals.

However, they were edged out by Okwawu United in a tightly contested match, losing by a single goal. Techiman Heroes will now aim to avenge that defeat and finish the tournament on a positive note.

Adding an extra layer of intrigue to this game is the fact that these two sides met earlier this year in the DOL Promotional Play-off, where Young Apostles emerged victorious on penalties, securing their promotion to the Ghana Premier League. Techiman Heroes will undoubtedly be motivated to settle the score and prevent a repeat of that result.

Young Apostles will rely on their solid defense and ability to capitalize on set-pieces, while Techiman Heroes will look to their dynamic attack to break down their opponents. Both teams have shown resilience and determination throughout the competition, making this an evenly matched contest.
