Benjamin Asare is a goalkeeper of Hearts of Oak
In a heartwarming gesture, Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare gifted a pair of gloves to Young Apostles goalkeeper Zulka Masawudu.
The young goalkeeper has enjoyed a brilliant debut season in the Ghana Premier League, keeping three clean sheets in his last five games.
His outstanding performances have not gone unnoticed, catching the attention of fans, pundits, and most importantly, Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare.
The surprise gesture from Asare deeply touched Masawudu, prompting him to express his heartfelt gratitude to Ghana’s number one.
In an interview with Fakye TV, Masawudu shared his surprise at receiving the gift, admitting that he had never had the chance to speak with Asare before.
“I was really surprised because, even though we’ve played against each other before, I never had the chance to speak to him. There was a time I tried to approach him, but I was told he had stepped out.
“So honestly, I’ve never spoken to him directly. I watch and learn from him from afar, so when the gloves were brought to me, I was shocked,” Masawudu said.
Masawudu revealed his tears of happiness and heaped praise on Asare.
“It brought tears to my eyes when I thought about the gesture. For someone like Benjamin Asare to remember a young, upcoming goalkeeper like me, it meant so much.
“I pray God blesses him, grants him long life, and opens even bigger doors for him. It’s my wish that he never loses his place in the Black Stars,” he added.
Masawudu was part of the Young Apostles squad that held 2016 champions Legon Cities to a 1-1 draw on Sunday, April 6, 2025, a result that further pushes them away from the drop zone.
