Behind the scenes: Gold Stars supporters charge on players; insist Michael Osei must be sacked

It was a disappointing scene as the Miners failed to once again pick a point against one of the big clubs in the league

A section of Gold Stars supporters were very furious following the 1-0 defeat to Hearts of Oak at the Dun’s Park in Bibiani on Saturday and believe head coach Michael Osei must be sacked.

The debutants have enjoyed a slow start to the their debut campaign in the top-flight and have lost two of their six home games this season.

A James Sewornu’s goal was all what Hearts needed to run away with a win and the results have left many supporters questioning the tactics of coach Michael Osei.

Some of the supporters vented out their frustrations

“I don’t understand why we lost to Hearts of Oak,” disappointed Gold Stars coach Osei laments

The Phobians pipped the debutants in front their supporters and their coach feels they were unlucky to end as losers

Gold Stars coach Michael Osei believes his charges deserved at least a point against Hearts of Oak in matchday twelve fixture of Ghana Premier League.

Despite dominating the Phobians in the game, a James Sewornu’s first half long range shot was all that Hearts needed to break down Gold Stars’ resilience defence.

And Osei believes it was an unfortunate result to take since his players did their best and played above themselves.

“I will not use the word disappointed but I feel for the boys, the playing body because they played very well,” Osei said after the game.

“They did their best. It was very unfortunate because this was the game we shouldn’t have lost but that’s football.

“It is a very strange game, sometimes such results happen and then you cannot understand but we have to move on and then see the next game,” he added.

Gold Stars have now lost two of their six home games this season and sit 12th on the log with 13 points, two points above safety.

They will travel to Tamale next weekend to face RTU before they host Legon Cities at the Dun’s Park in Bibiani.

Akwasi Asante scores late consolation goal against Chelsea in Chesterfield’s heavy defeat in FA Cup

The bulky striker returned from a long injury layoff to score a consolation goal for the lower-tier side at Stamford Bridge on Saturday

Dutch-born striker of Ghanaian descent Akwasi Asante scored a consolation goal for League One side Chesterfield in their 5-1 defeat to Chelsea in the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

After a very slow start to game, Chelsea punished the visitors as Timo Werner scored the opener by the sixth minute.

Calum Hodson-Odoi added another goal by the 18th minute before Romelu Lukaku made it 3-0 two minutes later.

Chelsea went into the break with a 4-0 advantage after Andrea Christensen capitalised on a defensive mixup to slot in from close range.

After the break, Algerian international Hakim Ziyech scored from the spot and Chelsea could’ve added more goals if only they were purposeful upfront.

Substitute Akwasi Asante who came on for Kellermann by the 66th minute, after sitting on the sidelines for six months due to injury concerns, scored a late consolation goal after goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli initially saved a shot and Asante tapped in the rebound.

Asante’s goal has made him the first non-league player to score a goal in the FA Cup against a side in the top two of the Premier League since Rocky Baptiste for Farnborough Town against Arsenal at Highbury in 2003.

The goal sent the 6,000 travelling supporters into ballistic mood amid the defeat as they celebrated having a goal against the champions of Europe and especially at Stamford Bridge.

Kelvin Yeboah joins Serie A side Genoa until 2025

The youngster has joined the Serie A struggling side in a four-year deal after an incredible performance in Austria

Italian-born striker of Ghanaian descent Kelvin Kwarteng Yeboah has joined Serie A side Genoa from Austrian club Sturm Graz on a four-year deal worth €6.5 million, the two clubs have announced.

The 21-year-old sealed the deal on Saturday after passing the club’s medical check up before putting pen to paper.

Yeboah has become the second Ghanaian to play for Genoa this season after striker Caleb Ekuban who has been sold to Konyaspor after a slow start to the season.

Yeboah was a key player for Sturm Graz as he boasts of 14 goals and eight assists in in all competitions.

He is currently the second highest scoring Italian in all leagues with 11 goals in the Austrian Bundesliga.

Yeboah, who is a nephew of former Ghana striker Tony ‘Yegola’ Yeboah, was invited by Ghana for 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers but the youngster turned down the opportunity and instead represented Italy at the Junior level since he insists that he feels more Italian than Ghanaian having stayed in Europe throughout his life.

Gold Stars 0-1 Hearts of Oak; Serwornu’s goal seals victory for Phobians in Bibiani

The Phobians returned to winning ways after series of uninspiring results thanks to a James Serwornu’s first half goal

Hearts of Oak defeated Gold Stars 1-0 at the Dun’s Park in Bibiani on Saturday to end their run of poor performance in Ghana Premier League.

After sharing the spoils goalless with Bechem United last weekend, coach Samuel Boadu came under intense pressure and needed a reaction from his players.

After a slow start to the game, the Phobians had their noses in front thanks to a beautiful goal from youngster James Serwornu by the 30th minute.

The midfielder latched onto a pass from Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and powerfully sent in his long range shot beyond the reach of Gold Stars goalkeeper Ernest Kussi.

After the break, Hearts struggled to contain their hosts in midfield which forced them into bringing on midfielder Ansah Botchway for Caleb Amankwah and that worked for them.

On 75th minute, goalkeeper Richmond Ayi saved the Phobians from conceding the equaliser as denied Frank Adjei from close range.

Gold Stars had another chance by the 82nd minute through a corner kick but Hearts defence were equal to the task.
