The win over WAFA can be a springboard for Legon Cities – Bashir Hayford

Head coach of Legon Cities has stated that the win over WAFA on Friday evening could provide his side with the confidence to push for more wins in the ongoing Ghana Premier League.

The Royals secured their first-ever win in the 2020-21 season after defeating free-scoring Academy Lads 1-0 in a match-day 8 encounter at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Joseph Adjei bagged the only goal from the spot in the 47th minute after Mathew Anim Cudjoe was brought down in the penalty box.

Bashir Hayford’s charges went into the game in a bad form, having lost 4 and drawn 3 of their first 7 games in the season, while WAFA came in with confidence after a 5-4 win over Medeama and occupy 3rd position.

Speaking to the press after the hard-fought victory, Bashir Hayford said the win over WAFA could be the springboard for securing more points.

“If today, we won that means, Legon Cities can win matches. I am very pleased with the victory. But we will quickly put this behind us and prepare for the next game. We need more points to climb up the table as soon as possible.” – Bashir Hayford

He also indicated that the win is a massive boost as he called on them to build on the win over the Academy Lads.

“This will be a big booster for us going forward. Naturally, when you win games it motivates you to win the next, so I am confident that we will build on this victory.”

The win moves Legon Cities from the bottom to the 17th position with 6 points.
