Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare has urged fans to remain optimistic about the club's chances of winning the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League despite their recent setback.

The Phobians suffered a narrow 1-0 loss to arch-rivals Asante Kotoko last Sunday at the Baba Yara Stadium, marking their third consecutive defeat to the Porcupine Warriors.

Speaking from the Black Galaxies camp, Asare admitted the loss was tough to take but assured fans that the team is determined to bounce back stronger. "The supporters shouldn't give up.

In the second round, things will improve for Hearts of Oak.
