Alhassan’s Late Strike Hands Karela Dramatic Away Win Over Dreams
Karela United left it late to secure a thrilling 1-0 victory over Dreams FC in their Ghana Premier League Matchday 22 clash at the Tuba Astro Turf on Sunday, delivering a cruel blow to the hosts.
The game looked set to end in a goalless draw until substitute Ali Alhassan struck deep into stoppage time, finishing from close range after a brilliant run and delivery from Eric Antwi down the right flank.
Both sides struggled to carve out clear opportunities in a tight first half, with Dreams showing composure in possession and Karela adopting a patient approach as they searched for openings.
After the break, the visitors began to assert themselves, with Antwi causing persistent problems for the Dreams defence. His energy and direct play kept the home side pinned back and ultimately led to the decisive moment in the dying seconds.
The victory ends Dreams’ five-game unbeaten run at home and extends their recent struggles, leaving them without a win in four league matches. The Still Believe have slipped to 14th on the table with 26 points, now hovering dangerously close to the relegation zone.
For Karela United, the win marks back-to-back league victories and lifts them up to seventh place, providing a timely boost to their campaign. They will next host bottom-placed Eleven Wonders with renewed confidence.
Dreams FC, meanwhile, face a crucial test on the road against Nations FC at Abrankese, knowing they must respond quickly to arrest their slide down the standings.
