In a highly anticipated Ghana Premier League clash, Great Olympics finally found their winning form by defeating Bibiani Gold Stars 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 1, 2023.
The first half of the match was characterized by an even battle, with opportunities arising for both teams, but neither could capitalize on their chances to break the deadlock.
However, it was in the second half that the decisive moment came. Michael Osei, donning the Great Olympics jersey, displayed his goal-scoring prowess by lofting a perfectly timed shot into the back of the net on the 48th minute. This well-placed effort came as Osei noticed that Gold Stars’ goalkeeper, Yaw Osei, had ventured off his line, giving the home team the lead they had been seeking.
Annor Walker, the coach of Great Olympics, made tactical changes to his team with the intention of safeguarding that precious lead and securing the much-awaited victory.
On the other hand, Bibiani Gold Stars, who were coming off a morale-boosting win over Asante Kotoko, couldn’t find their rhythm and failed to capitalize on their recent momentum.
For Michael Osei and Gold Stars, it was a frustrating day as they couldn’t replicate their previous success. In contrast, Great Olympics and their fans celebrated their first victory of the campaign, signaling a positive turn of events for the team as they continue their journey in the Ghana Premier League.
