Versatile player Samuel Ashie-Abbey Quaye climbed off the bench to secure first win of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season for Great Olympics at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Great Olympics opened their season's campaign with 1-0 home victory over Bechem United on Saturday afternoon.
Bechem United enjoyed majority of the game possession in the first department but their efforts to snatch the opener went futile.
Striker Hafiz Konkoni came close on the 23rd minute to open the score for the visitors but his strike was fisted out by goalkeeper Benjamin Asare.
The back line of Great Olympics stood firm to clear the inroads from the pacey wingers of Bechem United.
The first half of the game ended in a scoreless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium.
In the second half, Great Olympics were forced to make an early substitution after Abdul Razak Kasim sustained a knock which got him replaced by Francis Dadzie.
Hero Samuel Abbey-Ashie Quaye was introduced as replacement for Amos Acheampong.
After the hour-mark, Great Olympics gained possession to dominate the fixture with the hopes of opening the score before the final whistle.
On the 82nd minute, the Bechem United defenders failed to deal with Emmanuel Akesse's low-cross as Abbey-Ashie Quaye calmly slotted it into the back of the net.
It was the only goal recorded in the fixture after a late attempt from Hafiz Konkoni and Clinton Duodu of Bechem United went off target.
Great Olympics will battle out with Hearts of Oak while Bechem United host Asante Kotoko in the match-day two of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season next weekend.
