Inter Allies 1-0 WAFA SC - Adebayor scores free-kick

Inter Allies edged WAFA SC 1-0 at the Tema Sports Stadium thanks to a Victorian Adebayor thunderous free-kick in the opening minutes of the second stanza.

Referee Kenedy Padi awarded a free-kick just outside the box and the Nigerien star rifled past the stretched Richmond Ayi in the 47th minute.

It should have been a brace for Adebayor who could not finish off a counter-attack in the closing stages of the match.

WAFA were not pushovers despite tasting back-to-back away defeats.

They pushed hard and forced Inter Allies goalkeeper Saed Salifu to pull some match-winning including.

In the first half, Salifu-who stepped in for the suspended Kwame Baah-palmed away Richard Danso's powerful drive from 20 yards.

In the second half, substitute Charles Boateng unleashed a half-volley and it was the fingertips of Salifu which denied the visitors the equalizer.

Good win for Allies who are returned to winning ways after last week's embarrassing 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Aduana Stars.
