Ghana Premier League wrap: Disappointment for Ashanti Gold and Medeama in season opener

A second-half Karela United equaliser denied four-time Ghana Premier League (GPL) champions Ashanti Gold victory in their opening game of the season on Sunday.

After Diawisie Taylor scored on five minutes to give visiting Karela the lead, Appiah McCarthy and Hans Kwoffie hit back to put AshGold 2-1 up at half-time at the Len Clay Stadium in Obuasi.

Samuel Ofori, however, netted for the away side 11 minutes after recess to snatch his side a point.

Elsewhere at Akoon Park in Tarkwa, Medeama gave away an Ali Ouattara first-half injury-time lead to settle for a 1-1 home draw with Great Olympics, who found the back of the net through Daniel Appiah.
