Great Olympics midfielder Michelle Otu on Sunday saw a red card against WAFA but that didn’t deter his side to carry the day as the Dade boys won 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Gladson Awako's first half goal was enough to give Olympics all the spoils. Awako scored the only goal of the game, just before the interval, as he was left unmarked to slot home the match winner.
Great Olympics were reduced to ten men in the 67th minute after Otoo collected a second yellow card.
Afterwards, WAFA dominated and pressed for at least an equalizer and were unlucky as they hit the cross-bar twice.
WAFA Coach Professor Nartey Ogum kept urging on his men to keep fighting but they were kept at bay by a very stubborn Great Olympics side. The win was their second straight victory in four days following a 1-0 win against giants Asante Kotoko on Thursday.
