GPL: Match Report – Kelvin Andoh bags brace as Karela United rally from behind to beat AshantiGold

Karela United came from behind to beat struggling AshantiGold 2-1 on match-day 19 of the Ghana Premier League at the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park in Ainyinase on Sunday afternoon.

After surprisingly losing hugely at home to Eleven Wonders last weekend, Ashanti Gold went into this game with the hope of snatching at least a point but despite their good start, they ended up losing.

Eric Esso put Ashanti Gold ahead by the 20th minute through a well-taken effort.

Karela piled pressure on the visitors and they got the equalizer by the 40th-minute mark after a defensive mixup by Ashanti Gold.

Andoh made it 2-1 after the break with a calmly taken shot to send the home fans into wild jubilations.

Although, Ashanti Gold laboured to find the equaliser, they could not find a breach in the hosts’ defence.

Karela have moved up to seventh on the log with 27 points while Ashanti Gold have dropped to 13th position with 22 points.

A win for Eleven Wonders in their game against Berekum Chelsea on Monday will see Ashanti Gold dropping into the relegation zone.
