Kumasi, Nov. 22, GNA - Visiting Wa All Stars managed to clinch a 2-1 victory over Kumasi based King Faisal in their Seventh Week Glo Premier League match at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday. It was Faisal who scored the first goal in the 12th minute through Ofosu Micky from a spot kick which was re-taken after Ishmael Amin had whacked down Frank Acheampong in the box.
With a goal in their bag, Faisal probed for more goals with Prince Arkoh wasting a glorious opportunity in the 19th minute with only goalkeeper Albert Adabuo to beat as he shot off target. Wall Stars turned the table in their favour and had a chance to draw level in the 25th minute but a perfect drive from Eric Ofori was brilliantly saved by Osei Boateng in goal for Faisal.
Nathaniel Asamoah who was a flashed yellow card in the 30th minute for rough play hit the yawning net after he beat three defenders in a fierce struggle in the box with keeper Boateng sprawling.
Inspired by the goal, the visitors pressed on and in the 45th minute Ben Acheampong wasted a chance when his shot was blocked by a defender after receiving a pass from Asamoah from the left flank to end the half. On resumption of the second half, Faisal, who were determined to carry the day, made series of attacks and in the 51st minute Basit Abraham came in for Prince Arko to strengthen their attack while All Stars also brought in Daniel Bomfa for Ben Acheampong in the 62nd minute.
All Stars injured Eric Mensah was substituted by Ebenezer Adjei in the 76th minute.
In the 88th minute, Ofosu Micky hit the post with a powerful shot in a goalmouth melee while Shaibu Zida also failed to hit the net when just in front of the empty net to the surprise of the few fans at the stadium in the 89th minute
All Stars, however, managed to carry the day with substitute Bomfa finishing off with a header from Asamoah's efforts on the 90th minute mark.
