Hearts Midfielder Kwesi Asmah Urges Caution Despite Democracy Cup Triumph
Hearts of Oak midfielder Kwesi Asmah has called for calm and measured expectations despite his team’s latest pre-season success, insisting that the focus must remain on steady progress.
The Phobians clinched the 2025 Democracy Cup on Friday evening after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over city rivals Great Olympics at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
The decisive moment came in the 70th minute when substitute Kofi Asmah found the back of the net to seal victory in front of an enthusiastic crowd. The match had been evenly contested, with both teams battling for bragging rights until the breakthrough arrived.
Speaking after the game, Kwesi Asmah downplayed suggestions that the win should set high expectations for the upcoming Ghana Premier League season.
“We will take it game after game and hopefully we will do the needful,” he said after the final whistle.
The Democracy Cup, introduced by Ghana’s Parliament to honour the country’s enduring democratic journey, has quickly grown into one of the prestigious fixtures on the domestic football calendar. Hearts’ victory adds another layer of confidence heading into the new season, but Asmah insists that composure and discipline will be key moving forward.
