King Faisal recorded their second successive victory in the Premier League when they pounced on Heart of Lions and demolished them with an emphatic 3-1 win at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Saturday.
It was the determination of Faisal to escape relegation that galvanised them to overpower the Lions from Kpando who played a more purposeful game throughout the 90 minute duration .
Determined to carry the day, Faisal started pushing more men upfront and fired from all angles ,but Stephen Ahorlu in post for Lions denied them the opportunity of brilliant saves.
Frank Acheampong opened the scores for Faisal on the 21st minute when he planted the ball beyond the reach of Ahorlu by intercepting a pass in the box during a goal mouth melee created from the corner kick.
The goal gingered Faisal to probe for more, and on the 24th minute Jean Fancois Boli was given that opportunity to register his name on the score sheet , but alone in the box, and with only Ahorlu at his mercy, the attacker blasted wide to give Lions a reprieve.
Faisal scored their second goal through a spot kick through Prince Arko on the 43rd minute.
In one of his moves in the box, Arko was brought down by Ahorlu, and when a spot kick was awarded, Arko elected himself and delivered a bullet which Ahorlu made no attempt to save to give Faisal a comfortable lead.
Lions accepted the challenge and back from recess, they took total control of the midfield, and multiplied in attack, forcing Faisal to retreat on most occasions,
In one of their attacks in the 67th minute, Muhammad Tanko of Lions succeeded in disorganising the defence of Faisal and delivered a bullet which Iddrisu Ibrahim in post for Faisal struggled to push to corner.
A minute later, Lions reduced the tally through substitute Osei Banahene, and just when Lions were pushing for the equaliser, Faisal scored their third goal through Daniel Adjei whose 25-metre drive in the 79th minute against the run of play, secured a comfortable win for Alhaji Grunsah’s King Faisal.
