After the break Gt. Olympics continued to pile pressure on King Faisal and the effort paid off in the 55th minute when speedster Samuel Ashie-Quaye doubled the lead.
King Faisal coach Andy Sinason made a couple of changes, bringing on Kwadwo Frimpong in place of Enock Morrison.
The substitution improved the performance of the Insha Allah Boys and deservedly halved the deficit through Frimpong Boateng with 15 minutes to go.
But Michael Yeboah restored Great Olympics 2-goal lead when he scored in the 81st minute.
Great Olympics held on tight to the 3-1 advantage to record their fifth victory of the season.
