The Academy Boys left it late to stun Great Olympics on Saturday when the visitors thought they had picked up a point
WAFA defeated Great Olympics 1-0 in Ghana Premier League matchday five fixture at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope on Saturday.
Prior to the game, WAFA were without a win after four games as they shared the spoils 2-2 in their last game while Olympics had gone the season without a defeat and were hoping to continue their good run.
Both sides failed to make use of the few half chances that fell to them with Derrick Mensah Antwi the most culprit.
On 29th minute, Sampson Agyapong saw his free-kick cleared after it initially appeared to be going in.
After the break, Olympics grew into the game and caused a lot of troubles to the WAFA defence. However, that could not translate into goals.
Late in additional time, WAFA were handed a penalty after Marvin Owusu was fouled in the box. The referee didn’t hesitate to point to the spot for a penalty and striker Justus Torsutsey calmly slotted in the resulting kick.
Olympics were hoping to stage a late attempt to equalise but time was not on their side as WAFA held on to pick a priceless victory.
