First Division outfit Sporting Mirren continued its fairytale progress in this year’s MTN FA Cup with a 3-1 win over fellow First Division campaigners King Solomon in a Round of 32 clash at the KawuKudi Park in Accra this afternoon. King Solomon, who eliminated Premier league outfit Mighty Jets in the previous round, began t game strongly and took the lead just before half time through Davis Akoto Danso. Sporting Mirren came out fighting in the second half and soon they were level after Richard Okaidja nodded home from a corner kick. Another corner kick brought about another goal, this time from the competition’s leading scorer Alex Anim, who has now scored in three consecutive ties; a mini FA Cup record. King Solomon were almost let into the match after Sporting Mirren midfielder Yusif Abubakar was sent off for a needless handball, after already being booked in the first half. King Solomon scorer Akoto Danso was also sent off for dangerous play. Substitute Anderson Darkwa then put the gloss on Mirren’s performance by capitalizing on a goalkeeping error by King Solomon keeper Francis Ayitey to score the third goal on the stroke of full time.
