Young Apostles had a man advantage for over an hour, but Karela United's gritty defending earned them a first away point of the Ghana Premier League season.
Ghana Premier League football delivered another frustrating afternoon for the home faithful at Wenchi Stadium, where Young Apostles were held 0-0 by Karela United despite playing most of the game against ten men.
The match turned in the 26th minute when Karela midfielder Wisdom Jonas was shown a red card for elbowing an opponent. With over an hour left and the numbers in their favour, Young Apostles looked set to take control and push for a much-needed win.
But Karela had other ideas. Dropping into a disciplined, resolute shape, the visitors soaked up pressure and denied the hosts any breakthrough. The reward was a precious point, their first on the road this season, and a result that will feel like a win for a side in poor form.
For Young Apostles, it is a missed opportunity. They remain in the bottom three and are now winless in two league games, with the pressure mounting at the foot of the table. Karela's winless run stretches to three matches, though they stay just above the relegation zone.
Both sides now look ahead. Young Apostles travel to face FC AshantiGold 04, while Karela United welcome Vision FC, with each team desperate to rediscover winning ways.
