Hearts of Oak centre back, Kelvin Osei Asibey
A beautiful thing unfolded at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium as disappointed Hearts of Oak fans showered centre-back Kelvin Osei Asibey with money despite his role in their defeat to Asante Kotoko on Sunday, December 15, 2024.
Osei Asibey, who had a great game overall, was at fault for the solitary goal that gave Kumasi Asante Kotoko victory in the Super Clash.
Despite his mishap, Hearts of Oak fans at the stadium appreciated his performance and blessed him with monetary gifts.
After the game, Osei Asibey went over to the supporters to apologize for his error, but the Hearts fans responded with applause, with some of them also throwing money at him.
