Following his team's loss against Asante Kotoko in the Super Clash, Hearts of Oak captain Benjamin Asare has voiced his sadness.

On matchday 13 of the Ghana Premier League, the Porcupine Warriors defeated the Baba Yara Stadium 1-0, due to a goal from in-form forward Albert Amoah in stoppage time.

Following a mix-up in the back between Hearts' defender Kelvin Osei Asibey and goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, the former Great Olympics striker came out on top, scoring far into injury time.

"Losing this important game hurts." As a goalie, this is my first loss to Asante Kotoko. A draw has always been my worst performance versus Kotoko. There is nothing we can do because we have lost. We must maintain our focus in the upcoming games because the season has not yet ended," he stated.



Hearts of Oak have 19 points from 13 games thus far, good for seventh place in the Ghana Premier League standings.

Since joining Hearts of Oak during the Great Olympics, Asare has excelled. During his 13 appearances, he has given up seven goals and kept seven clean sheets.

As the Black Galaxies prepare for Sunday's CAHN qualifier against Nigeria, the 32-year-old is now with the team.

A Paris court found Mathias Pogba guilty in a well-known extortion case and sentenced the brother of French football player Paul Pogba to three years in prison with two years suspended.

Instead of going to jail, Mathias will wear an electronic bracelet for the first year of his sentence.

In addition, the court fined him 20,000 euros for his involvement in trying to coerce Paul Pogba, his family, and business associates into paying him 13 million euros (US$13.5 million) in 2022.

Paul Pogba was close to six guys, including his brother and three childhood friends, in the case that stunned the French football community.



For the other accused, the penalties ranged from 20,000 to 40,000 euros in fines and up to eight years in prison.

The attorney for Mathias Pogba intends to appeal, describing the decision as "very punitive."
