Godfred Arthur's late strike secured victory for Bibiani GoldStars against Heart of Lions in a dramatic encounter at the Dun's Park.

The game which looked to be headed for a draw after Stephen Afoakwa netted for the visitors with three minutes left to cancel Kwame Opoku's first half strike.

Opoku had missed an early penalty before scoring from the spot moments later to hand the hosts the lead before half time.

The home-side started the game the better of the two sides, with Kelvin Oppong coming close and Opoku causing havoc in the box, as he won a penalty in the 14th minute. The former Kotoko striker failed to take the opportunity as his spot-kick was save by Lions' goalie Prince Asempa.

However, he will not be denied the second time with Asempa going the right way but the strike was powerful enough to shake the net.

Lions began to gradually take control of the match but it was too late to make a difference in the first half.

Meanwhile, after the break, they maintained the momentum, with John Cobbinah striking from distance.

Second-half substitute Afoakwa struck in the 87th minute to force a dramatic ending to the thrilling encounter.

With five minutes of extra time added, William Oduro almost scored a winner for the away side with his effort hitting the crossbar.

But the home-side will have the last laugh as Arthur fired home in the final minute, sending the fans into delirium.
