Karela United reignited their survival hopes with a 3-1 victory over Medeama SC in the Premier League at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium on Sunday, May 18, 2025.
With relegation looming large, the home side produced one of their most spirited performances of the season, inspired by a brace from Malik Abubakar and a goal from Ali Alhassan.
The win sees Karela climb out of the relegation zone, moving up to 15th place on the table with just three games remaining in the campaign.
Medeama, who have struggled on the road all season, looked disjointed for much of the first half, unable to match Karela’s intensity and energy. However, they managed to reduce the deficit in the 39th minute when forward Godknows Dzakpasu pounced on a loose ball in the box to fire past the goalkeeper.
The Mauve and Yellow were unable to find a way back, and the final whistle confirmed yet another disappointing result away from home. The defeat sees them remain in 7th place on the league table, missing a chance to break into the top six.
