Great Olympics

Accra Great Olympics secured a hard fought win over Real Tamale United  in added time in their Ghana Premier League Match Day 18 encounter on Monday.

Ibrahim Sulley was the hero of the day as his 93rd minute winner gave the Dade Boys a 2-1 win over the Northern giants to move to the second spot in the League log.

The Dade boys took an early lead through George Asamoah in the 5th minute after capitalizing on an error from RTU goalkeeper Yaw Osei to slot home from close range. Osei failed to deal with a free-kick as he fumbled with the first save and Asamoah made no mistake to slot home the opener.

Ronald Frimpong converted a penalty in the 85th minute to draw the Northerners level. But their celebrations were cut short eight minutes later as Great Olympics restored their lead through substitute Ibrahim Sulley.

Sulley fetched the winner in stoppage time as he connected a pass from Philip Nii Sackey to give Great Olympics a hard fought win.

Great Olympics are now second in the GPL Table with 31 points – nine points behind leaders Asante Kotoko SC who lead the table with 40 points.
