Accra Lions beat Inter Allies in pre-season friendly

Published on: 13 October 2019

Division One side Accra Lions continued their impressive pre-season form as they defeated Inter Allies 2-0 in friendly at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.

A goal in ether half from Collins Opare and George Attram ensured Accra Lions upset the Ghana Premier League side ahead of the start of the new Division One league season.

Inter Allies becomes the latest top-flight side to fall to the East-Legon club following recent wins over Liberty Professionals, Accra Great Olympics and Nigerien side Sahel FC, who subsequently defeated Accra giants Hearts of Oak.

Opare has been leading the club's recent revival and he displayed that on Saturday when he rose highest to nod in a corner kick midway through the first half.

Attram picked himself up to convert a second-half penalty after he was brought down in the box by an Inter Allies defender to seal the victory.

Lions have injected their squad with new young players since the turn of the year to replace their players who departed to join various clubs in Europe.

They have recruited new players to invigorate the squad even before the start of the season and are demonstrating early signs of improvement from last term.

If they are to continue this form they will pose serious problems for their opponents in the Division One League when the new season starts.
