MAX GPL : Accra Lions pip Legon Cities at Sogakope

By Tony Bebli

Accra Lions Football Club scored just a goal against Legon Cities FC for their first three points of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League on Monday, September 25 at the Sogakope Red Bull Arena.

Evans Botchway scored the only goal in the 90-minute action.

The Accra Lions got off to a great start after Botchway rose high to head home a Remember Boateng corner kick after just 14 minutes.

The match, which was moved to the Red Bull Arena, thrilled fans with exciting football despite producing only a goal.

The hosts came close to getting a second chance moments later but were only denied by the crossbar after Samuel Armah had come close for Legon Cities on the other side.

The Accra Lions went into the break with a slim lead and were determined for more after the break.

However, Legon Cities were equal to the task, forcing two great saves from Lions goalkeeper Daniel Afful.

Legon Cities coach Paa Kwesi Fabin had to be sent off for arguing with officials on the touchline.

Accra Lions will travel to Berekum to face Chelsea in their next game, while Legon Cities welcome Aduana stars at the El Wak Stadium on Sunday.
