But their joy was cut short 12 minutes later when Bawa Mohamed tapped home the equalizer from close range. The visitors appeared dangerous on the counter and were deservedly rewarded with the second goal four minutes from half time. Former Great Olympics captain, Francis Mantey finished off a well-rehearsed move initiated by midfielder Isaac Ofori. The second half was a ding-dong affair as both sides failed to make the best of the scoring chances that came their way. 11 Dec 08
