The new signing, Charwetey, has proven to be a standout addition to the squad, tallying five goals and one assist so far this season. After his match-winning performance, he expressed satisfaction with helping the team secure another crucial win. “It’s always a pleasure to help the team win, and it’s even more rewarding when it’s an away victory,” Charwetey said. “As a player, my goal is to score as many as possible, and with the support of my teammates, I know we can achieve great things.”

Head coach Kasim Mingle praised his players for their discipline and adherence to tactical instructions. “The recent success is down to a collective effort by both the players and the technical team,” Mingle commented, acknowledging the dedication that has driven their strong form.

Former Karela United captain Sadiq Alhassan, now with Nations FC, expressed his pride in beating his former team. “Winning against Karela United on their turf is one of the toughest challenges, and I’m glad we managed to achieve this in my hometown,” Alhassan said.

This victory moves Nations FC up to second place on the league table, now sitting confidently with 16 points after nine matches. They will aim to keep the momentum going as they return home to face Nsoatreman in the upcoming fixture.

Nevertheless, Coach Kasim Ocansey Mingle recognizes that there is significant work to be done if they are to make a mark in the top-flight league.

Despite securing one win and enduring one defeat in their first two games of the season, Nations FC remain focused on their goal of establishing themselves in the top flight. Coach Mingle emphasised the need for continuous improvement, stating, “We are not done, we are not satisfied, there is more work to be done in the team. It’s a work in progress, so we need to work more and play better than our previous games.”

He acknowledged the challenges of building a new team but commended his players for quickly adapting to the demands of the league. “We need to work, and as the season unfolds, the team will improve. We are building a new team, it’s not easy, but they have coped very fast,” Mingle added.

Nations FC are determined to continue their journey in the league with the aim of securing their place in the top flight.

Following a promising start in the game, a brilliant attempt from Nations forced Samartex goalkeeper Lawrence Ansah to make a superb save in the 10th minute.

Ten minutes later, the Premiership newbies had their dominance paid off after Barimah Baah fired home a nice effort to score the Nations’ first-ever topflight goal at the Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.

Ivorian midfielder Amidou Diarra rounded off the victory for Nations in the 66th minute, having benefited from a James Sewornu mistake as they continued to dominate the match in the second period.

And the gaffer was left relieved after the win.

We really needed this win, especially after our tough loss in the first game. Our mindset coming into this match was crystal clear: we were here to play for the win. We gave it our all out there on the field.” he said.
