Heart of Lions staged a comeback to defeat ten-man Real Tamale United 2-1 on Saturday in the Glo Premier League.

The visitors took a 15th minute lead in Kpando through Abdul Aziz Yusif but once again, they failed to guard their solitary lead.

Twenty-four minutes after the opener, the home side drew level when Franklyn Osei scored the equalizer.

Both teams ended the first half one goal apiece but RTU had three bookings as Isaac Twumasi, Mohammed Fuseini and Hassan Mohammed all entered referee O.B. Amankwah's books.

After recess, RTU were the worst hit as Hassan picked up a second booking leading to his dismissal in the 63rd minute.

And ten minutes after his sending off, Daniel Acquaye scored from the spot after Heart of Lions were awarded a penalty.
