Match Report: Great Olympics 3-1 King Faisal, Dade Boys continue to dream about title after Faisal win

Accra Great Olympics continue to defy the odds as they gradually write a wonderful script about the 2020-21 Ghana Premier League season.

From rank outsiders to title contenders, the fortunes of the club has been transformed overnight after enduring a challenging spell in the truncated 2019-20 season.

The latest page turned in this fairytale season is their 3-1 win over struggling King Faisal on Tuesday. The two teams clashed at the Accra Sports stadium with the maximum points at stake.

Olympics entered the game with confidence sky-rocketing following their derby win over Accra Hearts of Oak.
King Faisal felt no different s they entered the game on the back of a 4-3 win over Chelsea.

However, it the home side who started the game well from the onset. With 34minutes of play witnessed, Charles Danso Otu put the home side in front to make sure the home team ended the first half with a lead.

Back from recess, Olympics doubled their lead courtesy Samuel Abbey Ashie Quaye inside 54 minutes.

King Faisal gave themselves a glimmer of hope when they scored a consolation courtesy Frimpong Boateng, 20 minutes after Olympics’ second.

However any hope of a comeback was extinguished when Michael Yeboah made sure of the results with a striker inside 81 minutes of game play.

The win lifts Olympics to second position on 21 points trailing league leaders Karela United by just goal difference. The latter has a game in hand though.

For Faisal, the result is a step back in their quest for survival in the top flight. The Insha Allah Boys lie 15th on the league log on 10 points. They are likely to drop further down the ladder depending on how other results go.
