Squad

Gonzalo Pérez breaks a bone — 62 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 62 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match

5 matches without a win for Hasaacas

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Hasaacas are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Jeffrey Paintsil says Hasaacas went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Samuel Inusah

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Gonzalo Pérez 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 Hasaacas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Soufiane Aznabet 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.

Squad

Gonzalo Pérez breaks a bone — 92 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 92 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Mehdi Khallati was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

A bad afternoon for Hasaacas against Ashanti Gold

0‑1 to Ashanti Gold, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match

No end in sight to Hasaacas's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hasaacas has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

A late step up for Afriyie Mensah

At 28 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

No hiding place for Jeffrey Paintsil

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Jeffrey Paintsil, and the manager let it.

Match

Rodrigo Brasília rescues a point for Hasaacas

It needed Rodrigo Brasília to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Great Olympics, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.
