The defeat marks Nations FC’s third consecutive loss on the road, underscoring their recent difficulties away from home.

With this result, Karela United temporarily leapfrog into 12th place, surpassing Hearts of Oak with 37 points.
Looking forward, Karela United will seek to capitalize on their newfound momentum when they face Bechem United in their next fixture.
