In the second half, Issa Basit reclaimed the lead for WAFA setting his side up for two consecutive victories for the first time since December 2020.
Coach Proper Nettey’s charges held onto the lead and finished the match as eventual winners gaining a vital three points to boost their top-four hopes.
