In a night to remember, Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare marked his Ghana debut with a calm and composed performance, helping the Black Stars cruise to a dominant 5-0 victory over Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on Friday.

Asare, who has been a standout performer in the Ghana Premier League this season, seized his opportunity on the international stage. Although the game saw Ghana controlling much of the play, Asare demonstrated his readiness with a confident display whenever called into action. From handling Chad’s rare attacking threats to commanding his box with authority, the 25-year-old showcased the qualities that earned him a national team call-up.

His inclusion in the Black Stars squad was a well-deserved reward for his exceptional club form, where he has consistently impressed as the best goalkeeper in the domestic league. With this assured debut, Asare has strengthened his case for future call-ups and has underlined the growing faith in locally-based players within the national team setup.

Ghanaian football fans took to social media to express their excitement and pride, praising Asare for his composure and hinting at a bright future for the goalkeeper in the Black Stars’ ranks.
