Late Mudasiru strike powers Gt. Oly past WAFA

Abdul Manaf Mudasiru scored in added time as Great Olympics stunned West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) 3-2 at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakope on Friday.

It was the first loss for WAFA at home this season with Great Olympics temporarily moving to the top of the league with 40 points and recording their fifth away win of the season.

The talisman for the Wonder Club, Gladson Awako, gave the away side the lead in the 14th minute with a superb strike from a free kick that caught the WAFA goalie unaware.

WAFA was very dominant in possession but could not restore parity in the first half of the game.
