The Royals continued their fine form as they pipped the returnees in a five-goal thriller at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday
Legon Cities left it late to defeat Real Tamale United 3-2 on matchday two of Ghana Premier League at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.
The two clubs came into the game from a similar situation as they both shared the spoils in their respective games on opening day. Legon frustrated defending champions Hearts of Oak to a 1-1 draw while R.TU also drew 1-1 with Great Olympics at home in their first league game after seven seasons in the lower tier.
It was Joseph Adjei who drew the first blood for Legon Cities by the 22nd minute after a nice build up.
However, David Abagna Sangna, who joined RTU from Ashanti Gold last month, pulled even for the Giants of the North by the half-hour mark.
After the break, Nat Akwah sent Legon in front again with a composed finish on the 56th minute before Jonah Attuquaye added another from the spot on 75th minute to make it 3-1 as the hosts looked to be home and dry.
However, Abagna scored another goal for R.T.U three minutes later from the spot to sent the game to an electric finish.
The visitors threw several men forward to push for the equaliser and at least snatch a point, however, Legon were resolute at the back as they held on to win their first game of the season.
Legon Cities have temporarily moved to the summit of the league log with four points. The remaining games of the week will be held on Sunday across six venues.
