ACCRA, Ghana — Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare tops the Ghana Premier League clean sheet rankings after six matchdays of the 2026-27 season with four shutouts.
The official top-five list released by the Ghana Football Association shows Asare clear of the rest. Two goalkeepers share second place on three clean sheets, while another pair sit joint fourth on two.
Top 5 clean sheets after Matchday 6
| Pos | Player | Club | Clean Sheets |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Benjamin Asare | Hearts of Oak SC | 4 |
| 2 | Benjamin Kwesi Asiedu | Bechem United FC | 3 |
| 2 | Michael Appiah | Swedru All Blacks FC | 3 |
| 4 | Musah Zakari | FC Samartex 1996 | 2 |
| 4 | Osei Prince | Aduana FC | 2 |
Asare has been a key figure in Hearts of Oak’s defensive solidity during the early part of the campaign. His four clean sheets represent the strongest individual goalkeeping record in the league after six rounds and underline the Phobians’ ability to keep opponents at bay.
Benjamin Kwesi Asiedu of Bechem United and Michael Appiah of Swedru All Blacks are level on three clean sheets. Both have delivered consistent performances between the posts for their respective sides.
Musah Zakari (FC Samartex 1996) and Osei Prince (Aduana FC) complete the top five with two clean sheets each. Their presence on the list highlights the competitive nature of the defensive rankings across the division.
The early clean sheet race remains open beyond the leader. With Asare holding a one-shutout advantage and several keepers close behind, the order could shift as the season progresses and teams face a more demanding fixture list.
Asare’s current position places him as the standout goalkeeper of the opening phase, providing a solid foundation for Hearts of Oak while setting the benchmark for the rest of the league’s shot-stoppers.
