Karela United's head coach, Ibrahim Tanko Shaibu, expressed his disappointment with his team's missed goal-scoring opportunities in their 1-1 draw against Hearts of Oak during match week 9 of the Ghana Premier League.
Karela took an early lead as Emmanuel Owusu Boakye scored within the first 6 minutes, but Hearts of Oak managed to equalize through Hamza Issah in the 40th minute.
Despite having several chances to extend their lead during the second half, the Pride and Passion lads couldn't capitalize.
In a crucial moment, they were granted a penalty with less than 10 minutes remaining in the game, but Richmond Ayi saved Solomon Adomako Wiredu's spot kick, resulting in a 1-1 draw.
Following the match, Shaibu expressed his frustration, stating, "Everything went well except that we did not take our chances. Imagine getting a penalty in the 37th minute, 8 minutes to go, and the player misses it. So, what else can I do? I'll keep talking to them, trying to motivate them for the next challenge."
The draw leaves Karela in the 14th position on the league standings with 9 points. Their upcoming match will be an away game against Accra Lions.
