Hearts of Oak: Afriyie Barnieh reveals why he always score against Asante Kotoko

Hearts of Oak striker, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh has said he always fancy scoring against Asante Kotoko, adding that no defender gives him a difficult game.

The former U-20 skipper scored against the Porcupine Warriors last season at the Accra Sports Stadium.

In the 2022 President's Cup, Barnieh again scored as the Phobian Club lifted the trophy.

The MTN FA Cup winner also mentioned that he enjoys playing against the defenders of the Porcupine Warriors.

“No Asante Kotoko defender has given me a tough time in a game. I always score them whenever we meet," he told Accra-based Asempa FM.

"Vincent Atinga was the toughest defender I met this season" he added.

He also named Ghana's all-time top scorer Asamoah Gyan, former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, and Fecafoot president Samuel Eto'o as his top three strikers he looks up to throughout his football career.

“Asamoah Gyan, Sergio Aguero, and Samuel Eto’o are my top 3 attackers, I always look up to them,” he said.

Barnieh helped Hearts of Oak to retain the MTN FA Cup this year.
