May 10, 2021 Abdul Manaf Mudasiru
Abdul Manaf Mudasiru scored in added time as Great Olympics stunned West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) 3-2 at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope on Friday.
It was the first loss for WAFA at home this season with Great Olympics temporarily moving to the top of the league with 40 points and recording their fifth away win of the season.
The talisman for the Wonder Club, Gladson Awako, gave the away side the lead in the 14th minute with a superb strike from a free kick that caught the WAFA goalie unaware.
Can Oly survive WAFA scare?
May 7, 2021 James-Akaminko-Olympics
Accra Great Olympics will be engaged in a tricky tie against WAFA in their Ghana Premier League match day 23 encounter at Sogakope today.
Olympics have enjoyed a smooth run until they were battered by an impressive ‘Ebusua’ Dwarfs side that hammered them 4-1 at Cape Coast.
The story of the Wonder Club has since been that of caution, maneuvering carefully to avoid such crushes as they hope to keep their top four hopes alive.
On Sunday, they bounced back in an impressive manner, pummeling Liberty Professionals 2-0 in Accra to return to the third position; a place they would have to avoid defeat to preserve or improve upon.
Asante Kotoko SC
WAFA dropped points at home for the second time this season but remains unbeaten after a 1-1 draw with Asante Kotoko on Sunday, 17 January 2021 in the Ghana Premier League.
The Academy Boys made their intentions clear from the onset and talisman Augustine Boakye raided down the left and was whacked down close to the corner flag for a free-kick.
It was whipped in by Lawrence Agyekum but Razak Abalora, the Kotoko goalkeeper, came out strongly to punch it out.
Asante Kotoko tried to reply after six minutes when Emmanuel Sarkodie shot at goal but Konadu Yiadom delivered a huge clearance away.
