Wa All Stars saw their MTN FA Cup campaign ended at the quarter finals stages after a 0-1 defeat to city rivals Wa Rockets FC.
The premier league leaders fell to a 15minutes screamer from midfielder Benson Akosah that caught goal keeper Eugene Adjah Sojah flat footed.
Enos Adepa Kwame paraded a very strong starting line up with ten regular starters in the first eleven.
Ismail Ganiu partnered Nicholas Mensah at the heart of the defense flanked by Hafiz and Nyarko while Richard Authur and Sanuel Atta Mensah led the line.
Their city rivals Wa Rockets FC however resorted to their traditional defensive set up with Iddrisu Nafiu bossing affairs along side Benson Akosah.
Wa All Stars however endured their first set back of the game when Mumuni Wahidu left the pitch in clutches with an apparent broken leg just four minutes into the game.
Rockets feasted on the strong start to the derby with a screamer worthy of winning any local Derby.
A pile driver from Benson caught Eugene flat footed as the ball zoomed past the statue-esque Eugene in post for Wa All Stars.
Wa All Stars saw their misery compounded when Moses Nyarko followed Wahidu to the stretcher on the stroke of half time.
Late resurgence from the premier league leaders proved futile in their bid to force extra time.
Referee for the day Alhassan Ali nailed the final on the coffin for Wa All Stars with the final whistle at the Wa Park.
Rockets FC thus extended their cup journey into the semis with a potential clash with Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the pipe line.
