The Ghana Premier League has been dented by many mistakes that even the Ghana football association or other football stakeholders can correct and this trend has gone on for far too long. The Ghana premier league lost its face and even sponsors due to rumours of how acts of match manipulation took place.
Once upon a time, former referee, Mr. Alex Quartey came clear to request former GFA presidential aspirant and for GFA vice president Mr. George Afriyie to forgive him and some other colleagues for some comments they made about him when they claimed he paid them to let some decisions go in the favour of some teams.
Today in the Ghana premier league game between Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Bechem United, an incidence that has left many wondering where Ghana football is going and whether there is any remedy to how to get back its past glory.
Bechem United were hosted at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi to play league leaders Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
The game that many judged will be a tough one for the league leaders turned out to be one that the hosts will require assistance from the centre referee to get any result.
Bechem United have always been a difficult side in the Ghana premier league and they sure weren’t going to be a walkover by Kumasi Asante Kotoko.
The league leaders after struggling to record any goal in the first half at their backyard came into the second half to concede in the 68th minute.
It was a shock, the entire stadium was quiet, the league leaders were trailing with just about some minutes to play. Many funny things happen in football but not such that brings a lot of controversy.
In the 89th minute, the centre referee awarded a penalty kick in favour of Kumasi Asante Kotoko which have left many wondering what he saw that no one else saw. This was one of the most unspoken forms of daylight rubbery in football.
The porcupine warriors scavenged for a point at the Baba Yara Stadium with the point marred by many questions.
The Ghana football association and other associations that over see these acts can only act after the happening but what actual penalty does the club suffer if they still maintain the point from the grave mistake?
