The win was the first in a league match for the wonder club this season and minutes before the end of proceedings , the few supporters at the stadium burst into singing in solidarity with the club.
Olympics began the first half with their teeth set on edge and led an onslaught in search of the opener.
This strategy paid off in the third minute. A corner was floated in the Dwarfs box, the ball deflected off two defenders and created a melee before a lurking Bernadinho chanced on it and released a drive to the blind side of goalkeeper Michael Abu.
Taken aback by the goal, Dwarfs responded with an onslaught but they failed to connect the passes and were listless in front of goal.
Back from the break, the visitors continued their search for the equaliser but when attacker Joseph Esso’s had an opportunity against goalkeeper Abraham Odonkor in the box, his shot went wide.
Both teams made all three substitutions in the course of the game but substitutes Godwin Attram, Issaka Mohammed and Malik Tahiru for Olympics made little impact in the game just as Musah Ibrahim and Isaac Donkor for the visitors.
