Olympics were a goal up at half-time courtesy an Emmanuel Clottey penalty on 26 minutes. The striker quickly registered his brace three minutes after the break.
But Kotoko loanee Osman Ibrahim, who surprisingly missed the starting lineup, came on in the second half and fired Faisal back on level terms with a 4-minute brace after the hour mark.
The hosts had gone a man down prior to the equalizer with Patrick Barnor being sent off for a second yellow card offense.
Olympics made their numerical advantage count by restoring the lead through Razak Yusif in the 74th minute.
Five minutes later, it was 3-3 courtesy Baba Yahaya.
Gladson Awako, however, ensured Great Olympics returned to Accra with their third win of the season by slotting home the winner in the 82nd minute.
This leaves King Faisal winless in 8 matches so far – drawn thrice and shipped in 19 goals while scoring 11.
