Squad

Nana Owusu damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

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

Match

Harrison Kudus sends Hasaacas past Berekum Chelsea

It finished 2‑0, and it was Harrison Kudus’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Hasaacas.

Player ratings

One of those days for Francis Atiemo

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.67, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

One of those days for Harrison Kudus

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.37, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Baba Mensah

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 16 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Jonathan Boakye kept it short after the 2‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Player ratings

Precious Ezechukwuma runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 13. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout

When it matters, Andre Atiemo plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad

Nana Owusu damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match

New Edubiase United end the Hasaacas run at 9

Every run ends on an afternoon somebody had marked down as routine. This one went 9 matches, which is long enough that a town had stopped counting, and short enough that it will remember exactly who stopped it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hasaacas

Nana Partey and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match

Hasaacas come up short against New Edubiase United

New Edubiase United left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Market

A stepping stone, not a home, for Emmanuel Ujah

He is doing his job and he is not settling. Hasaacas were supposed to be a step up in his own reckoning, and his own reckoning has been adjusted since he arrived.

The dugout

Andrew Kyereh 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.

The dugout

Jonathan Boakye: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad

Emmanuel Ujah is a square peg at Hasaacas

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

The dugout

Nana Partey has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hasaacas will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief

16 Edition

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Nana Owusu out for 30 days

30 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hasaacas lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hasaacas

Jeffrey Ayew and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout

A promise honoured for Precious Ezechukwuma

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Hasaacas told Precious Ezechukwuma something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

The dugout

Ernest Gyan knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Hasaacas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Precious Ezechukwuma is settling

A few words of the language, a friend at the next peg, and a training ground that has stopped feeling foreign. Nothing measurable, and everything visible on Saturdays.

Looking ahead

An away day at New Edubiase United next for Hasaacas

They sit in position 7 and they will be waiting. Away form is where a season shows its true character, and this side has a point to make about its own.
