GUSA games: University of Education pip Legon

Cape Coast, Jan 28, GNA - A 74th minute goal scored by outside right, Sani Salifu enabled University of Education, Winneba to beat University of Ghana 2-1 in the soccer competition of the GUSA games currently going on at Cape Coast on Monday.

The University of Ghana who played a yeoman's game to beat GUSA soccer champions, UST 2-1 in their first match failed to live up to expectation and allowed the Winneba boys to dictate the pace of the game for most of the time.

From the blast of the whistle, University of Ghana started strongly and netted the opener through centre half, Kofi Boakye in the 6th minute.

University of Education forced the tide in their favour and made several attempts to equalise but try as they did, they could not find the net until half time.

University of Education resumed the second half strongly and launched series of attacks in their opponents goal area for a considerable length of time and managed to equalise through their centre forward, Ata Peters in the 59th minute.

They continued to pile pressure on the Legon lads and rightly scored the match winner in the 74th minute.
