Hearts of Oak midfielder Sulley Muntari has named Ghana's first game of the 2008 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) against Guinea in Accra as his best game in the colors of the Black Stars.
The game played at the Accra Sports Stadium was the opening game of the 2008 AFCON played in Ghana. Ghana defeated Guinea 2-1, with Sullley Muntari scoring the winning goal in the dying embers of the game.
"The most memorable one was the game against Guinea in the 2008 AFCON. The atmosphere at the stadium was tense because the game was ending in a 1-1 draw and I scored to light up the stadium.
"I remember Essien telling me in that game to shoot after giving me the ball, and that's how we got the goal. The bond between us the players at the time was great," Sulley Muntari told Kwabena Yeboah in an interview on GTV Sports+.
Sulley Muntari made 84 appearances for the Black Stars between 2002 - 2014, scoring 20 goals. He featured in numerous tournaments for the team, including the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) and three World Cups.
REPORTS: Hearts of Oak agree deal to sell Mohammed Alhassan to Al Kahraba SC
Accra Hearts of Oak have agreed a deal to sell center-back Mohammed Alhassan to Iraq outfit Al Kahraba SC, according to a report from Iraqi Journalist Hamza Dhia.
The center-back will join the 2020/21 Iraq FA Cup runners up in what is said to be a lucrative deal.
Mohammed Alhassan is currently with the Black Galaxies, formerly the Black Stars B preparing for the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers and will travel to Iraq in the coming weeks to seal the move.
The 30-year old joined Hearts of Oak on a free transfer in 2018 after ending his stay with West African Football Academy (WAFA). He went on to become a key cog of the team, leading the team in the absence of substantive captain Mohammed Fatawu.
Alhassan played in nearly 100 games in all competitions for the Phobians and helped them win the Ghana Premier League title, Two MTN FA Cups, the Super Cup and the President Cup.
