Hamza Mohammed’s beautiful 30-metre volley, and Frank Akyeampong’s low grounder in the box, revived the fortunes of King Faisal at their favourite Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi as they won their first match, defeating Sekondi Hasaccas 2-1 in their Glo Premier League match yesterday.
After near misses by strikers of both teams, Hamza rose to the occasion when his volley on the half hour mark hit the upright corner of the net before Wilson Yeboah, in post for Hasaccas, could react.
Ten minutes later, Frank Akyeampong added his name to the score sheet when his low grounder in the box passed through a forest of legs before entering the net to give King Faisal a comfortable lead.
Back from recess, Hasaccas threw more men upfront, pinning their opponents into their own half and succeeded in reducing the tally through Joseph Bisah in the 60th minute.
The goal gingered the visitors to probe for the equaliser but Faisal withdrew more men in defence, denying the Sekondi boys the chance to share the three points at stake.
• Sekondi Eleven Wise yesterday beat Accra Great Olympics 2-1 at the Sekondi Sports Stadium. Wise’s first goal was scored through Kwabena Okyere on the 43rd minute, with William Owusu making it two in the 77th minute, reports Moses Dotse Aklorbortu, Sekondi.
Charles Amanquah of olympics got a consolation for his side on the 89th minute. However, the visiting team had to play ten against eleven from the 80th minute due to a bad tackle by Ernest Kpertwu which attracted a second yellow card followed by a red.
