From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad12 Oct 2026

Holomo Mpeli decides it from twelve yards

3 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Match7 Oct 2026

Heart of Lions out of the cup

Aduana Stars ended it 2‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Ishmael Addo, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.75

A mark of 8.75 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Yaw Danso goes up and wins it — 7.43

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.43 for the rest of it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Bismark Anim is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match10 Oct 2026

4 matches without a win for Heart of Lions

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Heart of Lions are no longer polite ones.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Leandro Witoszynki gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Kwadwo Obeng Junior in the eights

A performance of 8.25 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings12 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Albert Ayew

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

A first appearance Joseph Afful will want to forget — 5.71

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.71, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Albert Ayew is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Holomo Mpeli in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Heart of Lions this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad28 Sep 2026

Real improvement from Yussif Moro Owusu at Wa All Stars

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Yussif Moro Owusu is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

A chastening introduction for Andrew Addo — 5.68

It is a hard way to meet a crowd. Marked 5.68 on the day he was handed the shirt, and the important thing now is what the next one looks like.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Wa All Stars training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. José Cantillana is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Abraham Atiemo in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match26 Sep 2026

Wa All Stars come up short against Hearts of Oak

Hearts of Oak left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Edmund Sulemana gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Loan watch28 Sep 2026

Albert Ayew has seen enough of Heart of Lions

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Wa All Stars, and 1 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Market28 Sep 2026

Wa All Stars bring in an old head

José Cantillana is 33 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Andre Owusu never got going

5.42 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad14 Sep 2026

Ebenezer Abban falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match12 Sep 2026

Wa All Stars take the points off Heart of Lions

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Abednego Tetteh gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Albert Ayew in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Heart of Lions this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Michael Ephson dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Nana Kofi Babil

Successful dribbles: 11. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
