Hearts deputy captain Joseph Owusu Bempah has heaped praises on striker Sam Yeboah after he made a goal scoring debut for the Phobians.

The former Heart of Lions striker made his debut for the Phobians replacing Selasi Adjei and within 15 minutes of his introduction, Yeboah netted the all-important goal to fetch Hearts all three points.

The goal calmed the nerves of fans in the stadium at a point the Phobians began to be twitchy after a series of missed opportunities.

And Bempah was full of praise for his teammate following his exploits

“He is one of the fantastic strikers in the Ghana league. I have known him for years because he always gave me a tough time at when he was ay Heart of Lions,” Bempah told Adom FM Sports

“I am happy that he bagged a goal on his debut and our opening goal.”

“We are grateful for the victory but it is team work so we hope he will continue to help us win game after game,” Bempah added.

Yeboah will be hoping to make Kenichi Yatsuhashi’s starting lineup when the Phobians play away to Medeama this weekend.
