Karela United were held to a pulsating 2-2 draw by tenman Heart of Lions at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in their Matchday 29 Ghana Premier League fixture.
An evenly contested first half ended 1-1, but the game produced late drama as the spoils were ultimately shared.
The visitors opened the scoring through Michael Ephson in the 13th minute, but that lead lasted just six minutes as Eric Antwi restored parity for Karela United.
Heart of Lions were reduced to ten men in the 60th minute after Ismail Abambila was shown a second yellow card. Despite the setback, Chauncy Freeman put them back in front with a 74thminute strike.
Antwi, however, rescued a point for the ‘Pride and Passion’ with his second goal of the game. Karela United missed the chance to secure a fifth consecutive home win but will be relieved to have salvaged a draw. Nurudeen Amadu’s side remain 7th in the league
standings with 42 points and will travel to the capital to face Accra Hearts of Oak in
their next match.
Heart of Lions also stay 10th on 38 points and will be aiming to claim all three points at home against Nations FC in their next fixture.
