Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Seidu Basit’s first goal in the Ghanaian topflight league earned Accra Lions valuable three points as the Premier League newcomers return to winning ways.<\/p>\n

The 18-year-old striker pounced on a long pass from Jacob Mensah before firing home two minutes after the break to deliver victory for the host.<\/p>\n

Accra Lions declared their intentions early in the game after Shawkan Mohammed and Abass Samari fired from distance but could not trouble Legon Cities goalie William Essu.<\/p>\n

Legon Cities started pouring forward but their closest chance came when Hans Kwoffie’s header was cleared off the line by Jacob Mensah halfway into the half.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Issa forced a final minute save from Essu before referee Daniel Laryea whistled for half time.<\/p>\n

After the break, Lions started just the way they began the second half and just two minutes into the half, Basit received a long pass from Mensah to fire home the opener.<\/p>\n

Lions lifted their game after the goal dominating possession but could not create goal scoring chances before scorer Basit was forced out with an injury.<\/p>\n

Majeed Maswud, who replaced Seidu Basit came close a couple of times before a late onslaught from the visitors Legon Cities was equally met by great defending from Accra Lions.<\/p>\n
