Boardroom

The interim tag comes off Afriyie Kudus

Hasaacas interviewed the field and appointed the corridor: Afriyie Kudus keeps the job he had been doing in all but title. Sometimes the safest pair of hands is the one already holding the wheel.

Match

Hasaacas come from 2 down to beat Great Olympics

At 2 goals adrift this was a formality, and the formality lasted right up until it did not. Hasaacas found something the first half had given no notice of, and Great Olympics could not hold what they had.

Player ratings

Harrison Acquah scores twice — 8.24

Two goals and a mark of 8.24 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Market

Isaac Nuhu asks to leave Hasaacas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Hasaacas

Rivio Ayemwenre 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

Hasaacas get the job done against Great Olympics

A 3‑2 win over Great Olympics, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad

Home is on Eurichano Setila's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Hasaacas are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

The terraces

Hasaacas supporters have found a favourite in David Schlupp

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 20-year-old it feels ownership of. David Schlupp has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout

Andy Ezekiel 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.

Market

Xolani Tshaka asks to leave Hasaacas

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

A falling-out at Hasaacas

Rivio Ayemwenre and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match

Francis Asamoah’s goal not enough for Hasaacas

Francis Asamoah scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Aduana Stars, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Market

Osman Boateng steps up from the Hasaacas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Osman Boateng has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Baba Mohammed joins the Hasaacas first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Baba Mohammed is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Abeiku Partey steps up from the Hasaacas academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Abeiku Partey has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Hasaacas count the cost of losing Jeffrey Mensah

15 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Ernest Paintsil signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Ernest Paintsil commits to Hasaacas for another 3 years.

The dugout

No hiding place for Osman Essien

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

In brief
