FAISAL THRASH SPORTIVE (PAGE 47)

Story: George Ernest Asare, Kumasi

Alhaji Grunsah’s King Faisal added Real Sportive to their list of victims by thrashing them 3-1 in their premier league encounter at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium yesterday.
Determined to improve their point build-up on the Premier League after defeating Accra Great Olympics by a similar goal margin at the Accra Sports Stadium last Sunday, Faisal shot into the lead through Eric K. Opoku on the 11th minute.
Sportive accepted the challenge and multiplied in attack. In one of their forays, Isaac Boakye equalised for his side in the 14th minute.
The defenders of both teams built solid walls to prevent any more goals, but undaunted Faisal dominated proceedings, putting much pressure on their opponents with the aim of increasing the tally.
Faisal’s efforts paid off when on the 35th minute Abraham Basit managed to put the ball in the net to end the half.
In one of Faisal’s fast counter attacks on the 71st minute, Eric Agyeman pounced on a loose ball and ran deep into the area of Sportive. He laid a pass to substitute Enoch Ebo Andoh who displaced goalkeeper John Adotey before planting the ball into the net for Faisal’s third goal.

Skipper Amin Ishmail of Wa All Stars scored an own-goal in the second minute of the game when a cross he intended to head away beat his keeper to put the home team ahead. Yaw Antwi scored in the 45th minute while Samuel Yeboah made it three in the 77th minute for the home team. All stars got a consolation in the 90th minute through Daniel Coffie
