Aduana Stars delivered an impressive comeback performance, marking their return to winning ways by handing Great Olympics their first defeat of the season at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park on a thrilling Sunday.
In a remarkable turn of events, the Ogya Boys bounced back from a goal down to secure a resounding 3-1 victory over Great Olympics during their matchday six fixture in Dormaa Ahenkro, despite the challenging conditions brought by a soggy Sunday afternoon.
This recent win extends Aduana Stars’ home winning streak to three consecutive victories, delighting their devoted fans.
Aduana’s coach, Yaw Acheampong, made strategic changes to the squad following their narrow loss to Asante Kotoko SC in Kumasi during the last league game. Young talent Anderson Fiifi Asamoah earned his first minutes of the season, alongside starting roles for Gabriel Akwasi Mensah and Silas Kyeremeh, who replaced Bright Enchill and Derrick Afeson Boateng.
In contrast, Great Olympics’ boss, Annor Walker, stuck to the same starting lineup that had previously secured a 3-0 victory over Accra Lions FC.
The opening goal of the match came from Olympics’ midfielder, Emmanuel Antwi, who found the net in the 20th minute against the flow of play.
Aduana’s striker, Isaac Mintah, displayed his prowess by leveling the score in the 37th minute before delivering another crucial goal in the additional minutes of the first half, placing his team in the lead.
The comeback was fully realized when experienced winger Emmanuel Gyamfi sealed the deal for the Ogya Boys with a deep stoppage-time goal, concluding the thrilling encounter with a final score of 3-1.
Aduana Stars’ remarkable turnaround against the previously undefeated Great Olympics showcased their resilience and determination, much to the delight of their home fans.
