The Brands and Marketing Manager of Nations FC, Kennedy Boakye Ansah, has expressed admiration for the significant impact made by the head coach, Kasim Ocansey Mingle.
Ghana Football Association Spokesperson, Henry Asante Twum has confirmed seven players have been excluded from the Black Stars squad due to injuries.
Kennedy Boakye Ansah wants his Nations FC side to exhibit the twin virtues of confidence and commitment when they play Hearts of Oak.
Asante Kotoko trio Justice Blay, Enock Morrison, and Steven Mukwala have been named in Laryea Kingston's Team of the Week for Matchday 31 of the Ghana Premier League after a stellar performance against rivals Accra Hearts of Oak on Sunday.
Nsoatreman FC head coach Maxwell Konadu has explained his team's defeat to Karela United on Saturday during match week 31 of the Ghana Premier League.
Reflecting on the match, the former Asante Kotoko coach acknowledged that his team missed crucial opportunities, leading to their loss. "Karela had their chances. We fought back, but I think we miscalculated some distance and some spaces," Konadu noted.
He highlighted specific tactical errors that contributed to their downfall. "We were not able to close that half space, and that is what caused the second goal. And then we fought back after that, but you know, we brought some young guys," he said.
Konadu also pointed out the role inexperience played in their performance. "Inexperience was playing a role in our game, so the chance we had, we should have buried it, and that would have been 2-2," he added.
Despite the loss, Konadu found some positives in the overall play. "Generally speaking, the game was a good game. I think Karela, they fought very well to win the game," he commented.
In the match, Welbeck Takyi scored first for Karela United, with Nsoatreman FC equalizing through Collins Kudjoe. However, Karela's captain Mohammed Fatawu netted the winning goal three minutes after the hour mark, sealing the victory for his team.
Asante Kotoko legend Opoku Nti is confident Hearts of Oak will survive the drop at the end of the Ghana Premier League campaign.
The Ghanaian giants has been in dismal form this season and are now staring at relegation with three games to end the campaign. At the moment, the Phobians are only two points ahead of the drop zone.
Their poor form was compounded by a 2-0 defeat against arch-rivals Asante Kotoko, leaving Hearts of Oak in a precarious position.
The Phobians must win their remaining games against Nations FC, city rivals Great Olympics, and Bechem United to stay up.
Whiles Charles Taylor is clamoring for Hearts of Oak’s demotion, Opoku Nti has predicted Kotoko’s fierce rival will stay up in the Ghanaian top-flight at the end of the season.
“Kotoko hasn’t pushed Hearts of Oak into the relegation zone. This season, Kotoko have triumphed over Hearts in both legs which has given Kotoko the upper hand but I don’t think Hearts will be relegated” he told Kessben FM monitored by Footballghana.com.
Hearts of Oak are 15th on the league standings with 38 points after 31 matches into the campaign. They will welcome Nations FC to the Accra Sports Stadium in matchday 32 of the league season.
