Inter Allies coach Tony Lokko has revealed that his side went into the game against King Faisal very determined to secure victory.
The Accra based side had been on a run of five games without victory but strolled to a 4-2 win against King Faisal last Saturday.
According to the former Tema Youth coach, it was a 'do and die' affair for his boys, who were yearning for a second win in the campaign.
⪓Actually we took this game as a do and die affair to make sure we pick up the 3 points,”⬠he said after the game.
⪓Tactically we came into the game very strongly with a lot of transformation in the team, bringing in some new players on board and it really worked,” he added.â¬
Nigerien Victorien Adebayor and Samuel Armah scored in the first half to hand the Capelli Boys a well deserved cushion.
But Faisal came into the second half strongly and equalized through Osman Ibrahim and Mohammed Mustapha.
While the game appeared to be heading to a draw, Samuel Armah restored the lead for the home side on 85 minutes before Michael Gyamerah sealed victory in injury time.
