A knee injury of the worst kind for Kamaldeen Asante
80 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Liberty Professionals lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The cup run ends for Liberty Professionals
2‑2 against Hasaacas, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Andrew Baba runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 33. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Kamaldeen Appiah 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.

Tempers go at Liberty Professionals
Talles Cunha 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.

No hiding place for Isaac Gyan
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Isaac Gyan, and the manager let it.

A masterclass from Kwadwo Kudus
Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Amos Afful in the eights
A performance of 8.03 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The kick that got away from Isaac Afful
Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.
In brief
- Match Liberty Professionals and Hearts of Oak take a point apiece
- The terraces The press cannot get enough of Kwadwo Kudus
