King Faisal assistant coach Godwin Ablordey is keen about the clubs relegation survival in the Ghana Premier League despite securing FA Cup semifinals berth.
The Kumasi-based club edged out Aduana from the quarterfinals with a 3-1 win on penalties after 2-2 draw in regulation time.
After the game, Ablordey asserted his outfit is focused on the Ghana Premier League as they seek to maintain their status at the end of the season.
“I’m thinking about the league and not the FA Cup despite securing semifinals spot because we have to stay in the league. We are just concentrating in order to maintain our status in the league, so this is our focus now. Though, we are in the semifinals of the FA Cup but we are thinking about the league now” he said.

Aduana FC took the lead five minutes before half-time, through defender Stephen Anokye Badu in the 40th minute.
In the 47th minute, Godfred Asiamah was brought down in the box and Abdul Latif successfully converted the penalty to make it 1-1.

The normal 90 minutes ended with the score at 2-2, and the match was pushed into extra time.
The game had to be decided on penalties as the extra 30 minutes failed to produce any additional goal, with King Faisal winning 3-1 on penalties.
