Lucky Nwafor’s Strike Lifts Accra Lions to Crucial Victory Over Nations FC

Accra Lions FC secured a vital 1-0 win over Nations FC at the WAFA Park on Saturday, thanks to an early goal from Nigerian forward Lucky Nwafor.

The result provided much-needed relief for the struggling side, who began the day at the bottom of the Ghana Premier League table.

The decisive moment came in the 17th minute when Nwafor capitalized on a defensive error by Nations FC. The striker showed composure as he outpaced his marker and fired a clinical shot past the goalkeeper, giving Accra Lions a deserved lead.

Nations FC, in their search for an equalizer, tested Lions’ goalkeeper Daniel Afful late in the first half. The Ghana youth international pulled off an impressive save to maintain his side’s advantage heading into the break.

In the second half, Accra Lions continued to push forward, with Nwafor coming close to doubling the lead. However, the visitors regrouped and applied pressure, forcing Afful into another spectacular save early in the half.

The victory lifts Accra Lions off the bottom of the table, injecting new life into their campaign. Despite the loss, Nations FC remains mid-table but will be disappointed by their inability to capitalize on key moments in the game.
