The Inshallah Boys made it two wins on a row at home as they have now moved to joint top spot of the log

King Faisal defeated Bibiani Gold Stars 2-1 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday to go joint top of Ghana Premier League log.

Faisal coach Nurudeen Amadu maintained his starting line up that eliminated Asante Kotoko from the FA Cup in midweek while Gold Stars made two changes in their squad.

Both sides struggled to create decent chances in the opening embers of the game as most of the action was centered in the midfield.

On the 20th minute, Baba Yahaya went past his marker and played through Osman Ibrahim who calmly sent in his effort past onrushing goalkeeper Hammond Amon Nii Kalala to put Faisal ahead.

Faisal doubled their lead by the 35th minute after Zubeiru Ibrahim tapped in a cross from Osman

However, a mistake by Pius Baffour was capitalised on by Gold Stars striker Charles Gyamfi Kamara to pull one back.

After the break, Mawuli Wayo and Yahaya fluffed several clear point chances.

Prince Kwabena Owusu was handed a glorious opportunity pull equalise for Gold Stars by the 67th minute but the striker surprisingly shot wide.

Substitute Emmanuel Sarkodie saw his long range shot deep in additional time narrowly missing the target.

Faisal have now moved joint top of the league log with 23 points, same as city rivals Asante Kotoko.

They will travel to Techiman next weekend to play Eleven Wonders on matchday 12.
