Accra Lions staged a late comeback to beat Basake Holy Stars on matchday 27 of the Ghana Premier League on Saturday, April 12.
Hamzata Musah and Lucky Nwafor scored two second-half goals to turn the game around for Accra Lions at the Accra Sports Stadium after Prince Tweneboah had scored for the away side.
Tweneboah opened the scoring for Holy Stars after just five minutes played to put his side in the lead.
Holy Stars held on and protected their lead as they went into the break on the winning side.
The second half started on a good note for the visitors, who continued to create chances in the early part, but they were unable to add to their lead.
With 20 minutes to go, the home side grew into the game.
Hamzata drew them level in the 72nd minute before Nwafor completed the comeback six minutes later.
The win meant Accra Lions avoided losing both league encounters against Holy Stars this season, having lost their earlier meeting.
All three points also mean Lions move out of the relegation zone ahead of Sunday's fixtures, just one point above the danger area.
