The Mauve and Yellow got off to a strong start when right-back Kamaradini Mamudu opened the scoring early in the first half with a powerful header, putting his side ahead around the 18th minute. Karela United responded to level the score at some point, but Medeama quickly regained control. Derrick Fordjour restored their lead just before halftime with a well-taken goal that capitalized on their momentum and clinical finishing in the final third.
After the break, Mamudu sealed his superb brace and Medeama’s victory with another composed finish, completing a standout individual display from the overlapping full-back. His two goals highlighted his growing influence in attack from the right flank, adding a new dimension to Ibrahim Tanko’s tactical setup.
Under coach Ibrahim Tanko, Medeama produced yet another disciplined and purposeful performance, maintaining their impressive defensive record while being ruthless when opportunities arose. The win extended their remarkable unbeaten run to 17 matches — a testament to their consistency, team spirit, and ability to grind out results even under pressure in the title race.
With this victory, Medeama climbed to 43 points from 20 games, establishing an eight-point lead at the top of the table.
