Great Olympics

Accra Great Olympics dispatched champions Asante Kotoko to a 2-0 defeat to boost their fight for survival in 2022/23 betPawa Ghana Premier League.

The Dade Boys finished off the Porcupine Warriors in the first half thanks to goals from Michael Osei and Emmanuel Akesseh to seal three maximum points.

Great Olympics shot into the lead in the 8th minute through Michael Osei – who beautifully soared above all to nod home a Christopher Nettey cross.

The Blues doubled their lead in the 39th minute after Emmanuel Akesseh tapped into a yawning net following Frederick Asare’s spilled ball. Kotoko goalkeeper Federick Asare failed to make a first time save as he pushed the ball into the path of Akesseh to tap home for the hosts.

Olympics by virtue of the win moves to the 14th spot with 35 points, just one place above the bottom three teams. Kotoko remain eight points adrift of the top spot occupied by Aduana Stars.
