A solitary strike from Samuel Atta Kumi on Thursday afternoon handed Karela United a narrow 1-0 win over Asante Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League.
The Anyinase-based club today welcomed the Porcupine Warriors to the CAM Park for the Week 15 fixture of the 2022/23 Ghanaian top-flight league campaign.
In a closely contested affair, the first half of the game ended in a goalless stalemate after both teams failed to take advantage of the chances that came their way.
After recess, Karela United played better and frustrated the defending Ghana Premier League champions.
At the hour mark, the home team had the chance to take the lead when the team was awarded a penalty kick.
