Zaidan Mohammed strikes late for Karela United to end Hearts of Oak’s unbeaten start
Karela United snatched a late 1-0 victory over Hearts of Oak at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in Tamale to hand the Phobians their first defeat of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season.
In a thrilling encounter at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, Karela United emerged victorious with a late goal from Zaidan Mohammed, bringing an end to Hearts of Oak's unbeaten start to the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season. The Phobians had the early chances, but both goals and offside incidents ruled them out. Hearts managed to block a potential Karela opener in the 28th minute, with goalkeeper Sharif Shuaib making crucial saves in the 49th minute to keep the score tied.
Despite efforts from Dominic Nsobila and Kader Mahmoud, Hearts failed to find the back of the net until the 88th minute when Mohammed put his team ahead. Hearts' unbeaten streak came to an end after a commendable run beginning with wins against Berekum Chelsea and Gold Stars. Karela, however, showed resilience by bouncing back from their 2-1 loss to Aduana FC earlier in the season to secure a home victory.
