Accra, June 18, GNA - The head coach of Accra Great Olympics, Eric Ofori Antwi says his team's relegation survival mission is proceeding as planned after his side chalked a surprising 2-0 win over Kumasi Asante Kotoko in 26th Week midweek Premiership duel at the Ohene Djan Stadium, Accra.

Wednesday's win remain the relegation threatened Club's second on the trot in the 26th week old Premiership with Coach Antwi believing that is the beginning of their survival mission. He told GNA Sports "we are building points a game after the other with a single vision and I'm sure we will be successful." Coach Antwi attributed the team's seemingly revolving fortunes to player commitment which he claims has recently engulfed his charges. "I can see a lot of commitment and determination among the players and that is part of the reason why we are winning." Coach Antwi said the team would fight to ensure their mission is accomplished with four games to conclude the season. Olympics have so far amassed 23 points and are last on the 16-league table.

The "Wonder Club" would engage Real Tamale United (RTU) away in Tamale, Arsenal at Accra, Heart of Lions at Kpando before concluding their spell with a local derby against city rivals, Hearts of Oak. The team would be on revenge assignments against their next three opponents after losing all the first round encounters. Against Hearts, they are expected to look for a lucky charm to carry the day after drawing goalless in their last meeting.
