The Phobians snapped a two-game losing streak to secure their first win of the 2024/25 season, with second-half goals from Ransford Mensah and Hamza Issah easing pressure on head coach Aboubakar Ouattara and his squad.
As Hearts of Oak prepare for their next fixture against Nations FC in Kumasi, Asare encouraged his teammates to raise their standards and ensure that, at worst, they leave upcoming matches with a draw.
“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 celebrations. “We have to concentrate and continue working hard.”
Hearts of Oak endured a difficult 2023/24 season, narrowly avoiding relegation on the final day, and the captain is determined to lead the team to better results this term.
The win over Bechem United marks a crucial turning point for the Phobians as they look to regain form and climb the league standings.
