In a thrilling encounter at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium, Mohammed Zaidan's 88th-minute goal secured a 1-0 victory for Karela United over Hearts of Oak, putting an end to the Phobians' unbeaten start to the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League season. The match, held at Matchday 4, was an entertaining spectacle that saw both teams create chances but ultimately fail to find the back of the net until Zaidan's decisive finish.
The Phobians had been on a winning streak in the first two weeks of the competition, but were unable to extend that success against a Bechem United side that had struggled during the previous match. Karela United, however, came into the game with renewed vigor and created the better opportunities in the opening half, despite not scoring.
Hearts of Oak, while creating their own chances, struggled to match the home side's attacking pressure. After the break, Karela continued their aggressive approach, and their perseverance finally paid off when Zaidan showcased individual brilliance, dribbling past the Hearts defense before firing a low effort into the goal to clinch the win for Karela United.
The victory provided a significant morale boost for the home team, while extinguishing Hearts' unbeaten run after four matches.
