Annor’s First-Half Strike Hands Nations FC Slim Win Over Karela United
Nations FC clinched a narrow but crucial 1-0 victory over Karela United on Monday afternoon in a tense Ghana Premier League Matchday 26 clash at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Abrankese.
Emmanuel Annor was the hero of the afternoon, netting the decisive goal in the 25th minute after pouncing on an early opening to give the home side a vital lead.
The first half was a relatively even contest, with Nations FC slightly having more of the ball possession. Despite the close battle in the midfield, Nations made the most of their limited attacking chances. Of their three attempts at goal, one was on target—and that was all they needed.
Karela, meanwhile, failed to register a single shot on target in the first 45 minutes, managing only two off-target efforts as they struggled to break through a well-organized Nations backline.
After the break, the dynamics shifted slightly. Nations FC maintained control of the ball but offered little in attack, failing to produce a single shot on target from their two second-half efforts.
Karela ramped up their urgency, taking four shots in total after halftime, yet none truly tested the goalkeeper.
The result boosts Nations FC’s position in the league standings and reaffirms their home dominance as the season approaches its crucial final phase.
