Berekum Chelsea boosted their survival hopes with an impressive 2-0 victory over Karela United at the Golden City Park in their Ghana Premier League Matchday 26 clash on Sunday.
The Bibires, who came into the game under pressure in the relegation battle, showed urgency from the onset and were rewarded in the 27th minute through Seidu Abubakari.
The forward capitalised on a defensive lapse to calmly slot home and hand the hosts a deserved lead.
Chelsea continued to dominate proceedings and doubled their advantage five minutes before the break.
Dominic Frimpong found the back of the net with a composed finish, capping off a well-worked team move to put the home side firmly in control heading into halftime.
Karela, who had been in fine form prior to the encounter, struggled to impose themselves on the game as Chelsea maintained their intensity and defensive discipline in the second half.
The visitors pushed for a response but were kept at bay by a resolute Chelsea backline.
The victory ends Chelsea’s four-game winless run and provides a timely boost in their fight against relegation. It also extends their impressive unbeaten streak at home, underlining their strength at the Golden City Park.
For Karela, the defeat halts their recent momentum as they miss the chance to climb further up the league standings.
