LIONS WIN AT OBUASI (BACK PAGE)

Visiting Kpando Heart of Lions yesterday pulled off a major upset when they ‘roared’ to beat much fancied home team, Ashantigold, 2-1 at their favourite backyard, the Len Clay Stadium at Obuasi.
Lying second on the league table, Lions left the die-hard Obuasi fans with long faces when they stole the show with a win before a fairly large home crowd.
The visitors first opened the score on the 40th minute from a powerful grounder from the foot of enterprising Edmund Owusu Ansah which goalkeeper Fatau Dauda could do very little about.
However, Ashgold pulled even on the stroke of half time through Owusu Sefah to calm the home fans.
On resumption both teams made substitutions which raised the standard of the game, but it was the Lions who looked more determined upfront and as if by miracle, Dominic Adiyiah fetched the much anticipated second goal in the 70th minute.
