Asante Kotoko advanced to the Round of 16 after beating third-tier side Thunderbolts FC 3-1 at the Okese Park, Ejisu in the Round of 32.
There are other exciting pairings to look ahead to in this Round. Former Champions AshantiGold SC, that qualified at the expense of Aboi Young Stars, have been drawn against Aduana Stars in an all-Premier affair while Berekum Chelsea face Kintampo FC in a contest that promises to be exciting.
In the Southern Zone, record-holders Accra Hearts of Oak will play Accra Young Wise after eliminating Windy Professionals and Liberty Professionals from the competition.

Elmina Sharks will face off with Division One side Tema Youth at the Nduom Park in Elmina.
