Within 14 minutes, Raymond Kwoffie’s goal put the two teams apart and gave their campaign new energy.
The Timber Giants had a chance to double their lead from 12 yards just after the half-hour mark, but they blew it.
Samuel Kusi acted carelessly in bringing down goal scorer Kwoffie inside the penalty area.
However, Faisal goalkeeper Benjamin Asiedu saved Emmanuel Kyeyekeh’s penalty kick.
