Karela regained hold of the match and pushed King Faisal into their own half but couldn’t take advantage of the half chances that came their way.
Kwame Boateng was called upon by coach Stephen Abugri in the 53rd minute as Karela went in search of an insurance goal.
The hosts were given an opportunity to seal off the match after they were awarded a penalty by referee Maxwell Owusu. But Taylor Diawusie failed to score from the spot. However, the hosts got their second goal in the 78th minute through substitute Kwame Boateng.
