Karela United returned to form in emphatic fashion with a 2-0 victory over Bechem United at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium on Sunday, October 26, 2025, ending their four-match winless run in the Ghana Premier League.
Two first-half strikes from Yahaya Abdul-Rahman and Bless Ege were enough to hand Nurudeen Amadu’s side a much-needed three points and a boost in confidence after a difficult spell.
Karela started brightly, showing renewed energy and purpose in front of their home fans. Their early dominance paid off in the 15th minute, when Ali Alhassan delivered a perfectly weighted cross into the box for Abdul-Rahman, who calmly guided the ball into the bottom corner to open the scoring.
The hosts maintained their attacking intent and doubled their lead just before halftime. Ege was tripped inside the penalty area after a surging run, and he stepped up confidently to convert the resulting spot-kick in the 41st minute, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way to make it 2-0.
Bechem United struggled to find rhythm throughout the contest and failed to trouble the Karela defense, with goalkeeper Ganiu enjoying a relatively quiet afternoon.
The win sees Karela United climb up the table and restore belief after recent setbacks. They will next travel to Kumasi to face Asante Kotoko, a fixture that will test their newfound momentum.
Bechem United, meanwhile, will return home to the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park seeking redemption when they host Nations FC in their next Premier League outing.
