Mustafa Yahaya 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 Liberty Professionals this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of their own: Albert Waris
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Albert Waris sends Liberty Professionals past Heart of Lions
It finished 1‑0, and it was Albert Waris’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Liberty Professionals.

The afternoon belonged to Albert Waris
A mark of 7.88, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

A row about effort at Liberty Professionals
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Christian Appiah was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

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.” Daniel Mensah kept it short after the 1‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

Liberty Professionals pick somebody else ahead of Abdul Schlupp
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Albert Waris scores his first for Liberty Professionals
The one goal every signing is asked about until it comes. It has come, and a press-conference question has been retired.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
No hiding place for Andre Acquah
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Andre Acquah, and the manager let it.
