Hearts of Oak head coach Martin Koopman has likened forward Hamza Issah to former Brazil international Romario following his performance against Medeama SC.
The youngster scored a brace in the Phobians' win over the reigning Premier League champions on matchday eight at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday, November.
Despite being substituted early in the game, Issah's performance was one that delighted his gaffer who compared him to the Brazil great.
"It was a pity that Hamzah was sick at half-time. He had a lot of problems with his stomach, every time [he went to] the toilet," he told StarTimes after the game.
"I asked 'where is Hamza?' Again, he was on the toilet so I needed to change him. But you see the quality of Hamza, he has something from Romario, low on the ground, [and] turns very fast. I like him very much."
The victory over Medeama was only Hearts' second win of the season after failing to win any of their last four games since the triumph over Nsoatreman on matchday four.
