GPL Report: Legon Cities 3-2 RTU- Royals edge five-goal thriller
Legon Cities edged Real Tamale United in an exciting five-goal thriller at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.
Joseph Adjei opened the flood gates for the Royals in the 20th minute after a dominant start to the match.
However, the lead was short lived as David Abanga drew the visitors level two minutes later from the penalty spot.
Both teams kept on probing for their second goal of the day but the defenses remained resolute as the first half ended 1-1.
After the recess, Legon Cities took control of the match and began to assert their dominance.
Their spell of pressure finally paid off in the 54th minute when substitute Nat Akwah fired a superb free-kick straight into the left top corner to put home team in front.
Jonah Attuquaye made it 3-1 from the spot after Cities were awarded a penalty in the 75th minute.
The visitors reduced the deficit three minutes later through David Abagna who grabbed his second of the game.
