Accra Great Olympics picked their first three points of the season after recording a 2:0 victory over Karela United at the Accra Sports Stadium this afternoon.
A penalty from Gladson Awako and a second-half strike from Yussif Razak gave the home side their first win.
After suffering three successive defeats in their opening three games the Wonder Club were optimistic of picking their first win of the season against a Karela United side who have had a stop-start campaign.
The ‘Dade Boys’ took the lead just a minute after coming back from recess through midfielder Gladson Awako.
The midfielder beautifully converted the ball into the roof of the net from 12 yards to send Olympics fans into ecstasy mood.
Karela United came into the game strongly afterwards and threatened the goal area of Olympics but the hosts’ steady defense dealt very well with visitors waves of attack.
With the match looking like ending in a slim victory for the two times Ghana Premier League champions, Abdul Razak Yussif popped up with a late goal to help Great Olympics win the match 2-0.
The win has propelled Olympics to 14th on the standings with three points after four matches, while Karela United remain 11th with four points.
