Karela United beat Aduana FC 1-0 in Sompa Invitational Cup

Karela United secured a 1-0 victory against Aduana FC on Thursday at the Sunyani Coronation Park. This result marks the second consecutive win for the Tamale-based side in the ongoing Sompa Invitational Cup.

The win keeps Karela United's record perfect in this pre-season tournament. They previously opened their campaign with a 2-0 win against fellow Ghana Premier League side Berekum Chelsea. These two victories place the club in a strong position as they continue their preparations for the upcoming football season.

Aduana FC suffered their first loss of the competition following the defeat. They had started the tournament on Wednesday with a 2-1 win over Young Apostles and were looking to build on that momentum. Despite a competitive performance from both sides, Aduana FC could not find a way past the Karela United defense and left the venue without a point.

The match was a closely contested encounter as both teams fought to claim maximum points. However, Karela United held firm to protect their narrow lead and secure the win. The victory highlights the defensive solidity the team is working on during their pre-season build-up.

The Sompa Invitational Cup is currently in its second edition. The tournament is scheduled to run until August 16 at the Sunyani Coronation Park. It serves as a platform for participating clubs to improve match fitness and refine their squads before the 2025/26 football season begins.
