Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper and captain, Benjamin Asare, has called on his teammates to build momentum following their morale-boosting 2-0 victory over Bechem United in the Ghana Premier League.
The Phobians snapped a two-game losing streak to claim their first win of the season at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, thanks to second-half goals from Ransford Mensah and Hamza Issah. The victory relieved pressure on head coach Aboubakar Ouattara and the squad after a tough start to the season.
As Hearts prepare for their upcoming match against Nations FC in Kumasi, Asare urged his teammates to maintain a winning mindset and ensure that at worst, they secure a draw in future games.
"Put this in your mind, from today going, any game that we will play, our worst should be a draw," Asare said during the team’s post-match celebration. "We have to concentrate and continue working hard."
Hearts of Oak finished last season without a trophy and only narrowly avoided relegation with a crucial victory over Bechem United on the final day of the 2023/24 season.
