Young Apostles claimed a vital 2-0 win over Karela United at the Wenchi Sports Stadium on Sunday, January 5, 2025, bouncing back to winning ways after a challenging run of matches.
The Premier League debutants scored in both halves to secure their first win in five games. Samuel Prempeh gave Apostles the lead in the 35th minute, slotting in just before the break.
The hosts doubled their advantage in the 64th minute from a well-executed set piece, ensuring a comfortable 2-0 lead that they maintained until the final whistle.
Despite making several changes to their lineup in search of a goal, Karela United could not break down Apostles’ determined defense. The home side displayed resilience and saw out the match with composure.
The victory moved Young Apostles to 12th place in the league standings, now with 17 points, while Karela United, who have struggled with form, dropped into the relegation zone. The visitors have now failed to win in their last four games and have only secured one victory in their last nine matches.
Karela United will look to regroup and aim for a positive result when they travel to Nsoatreman for their next fixture. Meanwhile, Young Apostles will hope to build on this success when they host Bechem United in their upcoming league match.
