20/21 Ghana Premier League matchday 22: Karela United scores late to deny King Faisal needed victory

Published on: 02 May 2021

King Faisal came close to making a crucial step towards escaping relegation on Sunday afternoon when the team drew 1-1 against Karela United at the Ohene Ameyaw Park.

The side from Kumasi have since the start of the 2020/2021 Ghana Premier League been inconsistent.

As a result, they are one of a few teams tipped to suffer relegation at the end of the ongoing season.

Keen on defying the odds and remaining a top-flight side at the end of the campaign, the team put on a strong performance today when they hosted Karela United.

Following a good start to the match, King Faisal led through a strike from Zubeiru Ibrahim in the 17th minute.

Although the team will go on to show commendable resilience, a late goal from Maxwell Boakye ensured that Karela United forced the game to end in a draw.
