Great Olympics

Accra Great Olympics continued their impressive form, Friday afternoon, cruising to a narrow 1-0 win over Medeama SC at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Resuming the second round of this season’s Ghana Premier League, the Accra – based club hosted the Yellow and Mauve outfit in a matchday 18.

Ashie-Quaye, a key member of Ghana’s U-20 squad that won the recent Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Mauritania, scored the winning goal in the 39th minute.

The left-back pounced on a fine pass, outpaced his marker and beat goalkeeper Ofori Antwi with a low shot.

Medeama huffed and puffed but could not salvage anything from the game due to Olympics’ resolute defending.

By virtue of the win, Oly Dade surpasses Karela United at the top of the GPL League log playing a game more with 33 points from 18 matches.
