Newly promoted Port City snatched a 2-1 win in Tamale thanks to two late Owusu Ansah goals, ending Karela United's perfect home run this season.
Ghana Premier League Week 8 delivered a proper shock in Tamale, where newly promoted Port City came from nowhere late on to topple Karela United 2-1 at the Aliu Mahama Stadium. The visitors became the first side this season to leave Karela's home ground with all three points.
It was Owusu Ansah's afternoon. He broke the deadlock in the 77th minute, only for Iddi Mahfuz to level things up for Karela nine minutes later and seemingly rescue a point for the hosts. But Ansah had one more twist left in him, striking again in the 89th minute to complete his brace and silence the home crowd.
The win is Port City's second on the road this term and lifts them to third in the league table. For a club fresh out of the lower tier, it's a loud statement: they are not just here to make up the numbers, and they are building a reputation as a team that travels well.
Next up, Port City head south to face Vision FC in Tema, with momentum firmly on their side. For Karela United, the mood is far gloomier. Back-to-back defeats have turned up the heat on head coach Nurudeen Amadu, and the Golden Boys must respond quickly when they visit Young Apostles in their next outing.
