It was sweet revenge for King Faisal as they plunged league leaders Accra Hearts of Oak to a second straight 0-1 defeat in the ongoing Glo Premier League played at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Matches between the two sides have always been exciting, but the surprise, albeit sour exit of Vincent Odotei Sowah from Hearts to Faisal has opened new wounds.
Faisal lost by 2 goals to 1 in the corresponding fixture and swore to avenge the defeat, which they have done in grand style with 2 men to spare on the day.
Faisal opened the scoring in the 9th minute and held on with their lives even after two players were sent off.
Whilst Vincent Odotei Sowah, Alhaji Grunsah and their charges are basking in glory over the victory, Hearts are licking their wounds which come at the back of a painful loss to rivals Asante Kotoko on home soil during the weekend.
The fairy tale story of Herbert Addo and the Porcupine Warriors continued unabated with a 1-1 drawn game against Real Tamale United in Tamale.
But for a late equalizer, Kotoko would have earned four straight victories under new coach Herbert Addo.
Hearts of Lions deepened the relegation fears of Sporting Mirren with a 2-1 victory at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium.
The victory also kept their title ambitions alive as they cut Hearts of Oak's lead at the summit of the league table to just five.
Ashgold appear to have broken their clutches to relegation with a 2-0 home victory over relegation contenders All Blacks.
Back at their favourite Carl Reindoff Park in Dansoman, Liberty Professionals inflicted a painful 4-2 defeat on Berekum Arsenals.
Wa All Stars defeated Tema Youth by a lone goal in Wa with Chelsea recording a similar victory over Sekondi based Eleven Wise.
Hasaacas recorded the biggest ever victory in the 23rd week premier league with a 3-0 thumping of Kessben FC.
