Great Olympics

Accra Great Olympics recorded a memorable 3-2 win over WAFA on Matchday 23 of the Ghana Premier League on Friday at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena, courtesy a late 94th minute strike from Abdul Manaf Mudasiru.

The win sends Olympics to the top of the Ghana Premier League table with 40 points, a point above Medeama SC.
It was the first home loss to WAFA in 55 Ghana Premier League games.

WAFA fought back from two goals down to hold Great Olympics until late in the 90th minute when substitute Mudasiru came on to snatch all three points for the visitors.

Gladson Awako scored early in the 14th minute to give Olympics the lead in the first half.

In the second-half, Boakye Yiadom’s own goal in the 60th minute doubled the advantage for the visitors.

But WAFA would not be deterred as they equalized within a space of ten minutes through Enock Asubonteng (70) and Justus Torsutey (79).

Great Olympics forward Manaf Mudasiru who had come on as a substitute grabbed the winner with the final kick of the game in added time (90+4) to send the Dade Boys top of the league for a few hours.
