Legon Cities pulled a 2-0 stunning victory over high-flying Accra Great Olympics at the Accra Sports Stadium in a match day 19 fixture to boost their survival hopes in the Ghana Premier League (GPL).
Against the run of play in the second half, super substitute, Nicholas Mensah punished Oly with a thumping header from a corner kick on the hour mark to put his side ahead with a goal that attracted sharp protest from the Olympics players.
Unsure of a decision, the referee, Serlorm Kpormegbe, hesitated until his assistant waved his flag to indicate an Eric Osei Bonsu clearance was behind the goal line.
