Hearts of Oak defender Ransford Mensah has set his sights on delivering a regulation-time victory for the Phobians in the upcoming Homowo Cup, urging fans to turn out in large numbers to support the team.
The Phobians will face Heart of Lions on Sunday August 17 for the much-anticipalted encounter.
Speaking to Ghana Premier League reporter Shaban Mohammed, Mensah reflected on the inaugural edition of the tournament, where Hearts triumphed on penalties. While grateful for that win, the defender stressed that this year, the aim is to secure the trophy without the need for a shootout.
"We need to win it for Hearts of Oak supporters. During the first edition we won on penalties and we are grateful to God. However, we want to win in regulation time this time in the second edition.
"We are confident in what the coach has taught us. We will win but not on penalties. We are really prepared and ready for the game. I plead with the fans to come to the stadium in their numbers," Mensah said.
Hearts are currently in strong preparation mode as they eye another Homowo Cup triumph.
