Accra Lions snapped a run of four matches without a win with a 1-0 victory against Medeama SC at the Accra Sports Stadium Saturday afternoon.
The 2021/22 Ghana Premier League (GPL) match-day 16 clash was decided by a more exquisite trademark Abdul Fatawu Hamidu free-kick recorded in the first half.
Lions’ victory over the Mauve and Yellows did not come without controversy as referee Emmanuel Don Quansah and his assistant 2 strangely disallowed what should have stood as a legitimate goal and match opener by Kwasi Donsu in the 20th minute.
The Medeama midfielder raced from behind to a deflected cross before hitting the ball past goalkeeper Frederick Asare.
Just about a minute later, Lions striker Frederick Asante also had his effort ruled offside.
Soon, Fatawu Hamidu would deliver a screamer of a free-kick from distance.
The left-back guided a curled shot above Medeama’s wall from about 30 yards out into the top right corner in the 32nd minute, leaving the agile Ivorian keeper Boris Mandjui in utter shock.
