Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare says the Phobians remain firmly in contention for the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League title.
The Accra-based side strengthened their championship push with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over arch-rivals Asante Kotoko in Sunday’s Super Clash at the Baba Yara Stadium.
A first-half header from Baba Adamu proved decisive, moving Hearts closer to league leaders Medeama SC in the title race.
Reflecting on the club’s prospects, Asare expressed optimism about their chances.
“Yes, anyone can still win it. If you look at the top four or five teams, it’s all about determination on the field. If we continue to win our matches, we have a great chance,” he said.
“Winning the league would be a huge opportunity for us, and I believe most of the players deserve it. This win today will help us be more aggressive and focused in our upcoming matches,” Asare added.
The victory lifts Hearts of Oak to third place on the league table with 39 points. They will aim to maintain their momentum when they host Berekum Chelsea on Matchday 23 at the University of Ghana Stadium this weekend.
