The victory over the 21 time Ghana champions made it two straight home wins and four without a loss. Bismark Kobi-Mensah said: \u201cThe most thing that impressed me was about the way we controlled the game.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/80c4a5eeb1c844ed89dca12c354ae24a\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have watched Hearts of Oak. If you control the game they are very uncomfortable. \u201cAnytime you control the game better than them, they are very uncomfortable. \u201cSo that was one of our tactics, to make sure that we control the game so that we make certain good players ineffective. \u201cAnd again, we have worked more on our defensive play, on our defensive  so you could see throughout the game, Hearts of Oak could not get most clear chances. \u201cBut we were able to create a lot,\u201d Bismark Kobi-Mensah told StarTimes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/e769047c5ed34d1d86493124ef8449b4\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBeating Hearts of Oak or playing Hearts of Oak here is not something above us. We have proved them wrong.\u201d Kobi-Mensah added. Karela United have now climbed into seventh position with 20 points after 14 games of the season.\u00a0They have won five matches, drawn five and lost just twice this term. Next stop will be up North at the Aliu Mahama Stadium against Real Tamale United on Sunday, January, 30.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: AdamuMuftawu (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
