Newly appointed Managing Director of Hearts of Oak, Julius Ben Emunah, has urged his players to deliver a strong performance and secure a positive result against fierce rivals Asante Kotoko in Sunday’s crucial Matchday 22 clash.
The Phobians will travel to the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi for the highly anticipated encounter, with only one point separating the two sides in the Ghana Premier League standings.
Speaking to the team at the Kpobiman Training Complex, Ben Emunah expressed confidence in Hearts’ current form and challenged them to assert their dominance.
“We are better than Kotoko, that’s why we’re ahead of them,” he told the players.
“Now go out there on Sunday and deliver, because we are the best-performing away side.”
Hearts of Oak have been solid on the road this season, and Ben Emunah believes that away strength gives them the edge needed to claim maximum points against the Porcupine Warriors.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 GMT and is expected to draw massive attention as both clubs vie for supremacy in the league title race.
Hearts will be aiming to extend their advantage and send a strong message to the rest of the league, while Kotoko will look to reclaim momentum on home soil.
All eyes will be on Baba Yara Stadium this Sunday for what promises to be another intense chapter in one of Ghana’s fiercest football rivalries.
