Published on: 16 October 2023

Accra Lions could not roar on Monday afternoon when the team suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Great Olympics.

The two teams locked horns at the Accra Sports Stadium in a Week 5 encounter of the 2023/24 Ghana Premier League season.

Accra Lions in the game made mistakes at the back and conceded three goals in the first 20 minutes.

Speaking in a post-match interview, the head coach of the side, Ibrahim Tanko said Great Olympics played well and deserved the win.

However, he highlighted the defensive mistakes of Accra Lions, insisting that his team needs to work on it.

“Our performance was very bad. We had a very bad first half and with two mistakes we gave them the game. It’s very painful but they deserved to win,” Coach Ibrahim Tanko said.

The Accra Lions coach added, “I’m very worried about our defense but I mean I know we have to train for it. We have to keep on training for it and hope everything will be fine. Regardless, as I said Olympics deserved the win.”

Up next for Accra Lions, the team will host Real Tamale United in the next game of the Ghana Premier League.
