The nation’s number one, the goalkeeper of the Ghana Black Stars who kept the posts to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, was the man of the match in yesterday’s epic match between Kumasi Asante Kotoko and rivals Accra Hearts of Oak at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Hearts, who were captained by Asare, won the day with a lone goal scored in the 14th minute by Baba Adamu, a utility player who made many people miss their delicious fufu on a Sunday, a day after Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Benjamin Asare was a delight to watch with his amazing and stylish display in the air and on the ground.
He really showed the world that he is the best in Ghana, and he is coming to the World Cup to prove something.
The Phobian victory needs to be celebrated as it was done because it has been ten years since they won in Kumasi. Most matches ended in draws, even when Hearts were on top ointhe games.
Accra Hearts of Oak has appointed Julius Ben Emunah as their new Managing Director (CEO), effective February 2, 2026, and he also played his part in motivating the players, telling them they are the best team when it comes to away games, and they did exactly what was right and best.
The players who donned the rainbow colours and remained victorious on the day included Hamza Issah, Mawuli Wayo, Mohammed Hussien, Martin Karikari, Abdul Karim, David Oppong, Ali Mohammed, Kelvin Osei Asibey, Emmanuel Amankwah and Asare.
The Porcupine Warriors, who could not please their fans, were Yakubu Dogo, Albert Amoah, Saaka Dauda, Hubert Gyau, Patrick Badu, Patrick Asiedu, Henry Ainsu, Samba Gilbani, Lord Amoa,h and Mohammed Cama,ra who was very nervous aconcededded.
