Nsoatreman FC ended their nine-match winless run with a hard-fought victory over visiting Karela United at the Nana Kronmansah II Park.
Eric Osei Bonsu’s goal from the spot was the difference in an enthralling game between two sides who were living precariously on the league standing.
The hosts were awarded a penalty on the 53 minutes mark, after Mohammed Abdul Rahman was brought down in the box. Up stepped Bonsu to dispatch the spot-kick with precision.
Yaw Preko’s team held on to a narrow lead to claim a long-awaited league win. Nsoatreman climb up to 12th on the league standing after today’s victory, which will be a huge relief for coach Yaw Preko and his charges.
Karela’s woes continue as they still remain in the relegation zone. They feel they deserved something from this game after their appeals against the penalty were waved away by the referee.
They are now winless in five matches and have recorded just one win in ten premier league matches.
The Pride and Passion will be keen to bounce back but their next fixture is a tricky trip to Asante Kotoko.
