Kelvin Osei Asibey wins Man of the Match in Hearts of Oak 1-0 victory

Hearts of Oak defender Kelvin Osei Asibey has been named the NASCO Man of the Match following his strong performance in the Phobians' 1-0 victory against Vision FC. The Week 7 Ghana Premier League fixture, played at the Nii Adjei Kraku Complex, saw Asibey anchoring a defense that successfully repelled the home side's attacks to secure a crucial clean sheet and all three points for the visitors.

The match was decided in the final minutes of play when substitute Kwesi Asmah found the back of the net in the 86th minute. Asmah took full advantage of a defensive error and a poor clearance by a Vision FC player to score the only goal of the game. While the late strike secured the win, Asibey’s consistent presence and leadership in the backline throughout the match were instrumental in keeping Hearts of Oak in a position to claim the victory.

Asibey’s recognition is part of the weekly honors provided by league sponsors Electroland Ghana Limited, with each Man of the Match recipient receiving a 32-inch NASCO television set. Other winners from the Week 7 round of games included Berekum Chelsea defender Fuseini Zachariah, who was honored for his role in a 2-0 win over Heart of Lions at the Kpando Stadium. Other players from clubs such as Asante Kotoko, FC Samartex 1996, and Basake Holy Stars also picked up individual accolades during this round of fixtures.

This result marks an important step for Hearts of Oak as they look to climb the league table and find consistency in their performance. For Kelvin Osei Asibey, the award highlights his emergence as a key figure in the squad's defensive setup. The Phobians will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches, while the individual excellence shown by players like Asibey continues to be a highlight of the domestic top-flight competition.
