Ghana FA top official wants Inter Allies two goals “HERO” Hashim Musah rewarded
Ghana Football Association Executive Council member Nana Sarfo Oduro is advocating for a reward for the Inter Allies defender – who dominated the headlines for deliberately scoring two brazen own goals to allegedly foil a “match-fixing plot”.
Musah, who is an Inter Allies centre-back Hashmin Musah confessed to scoring the two intentional own goals during the clash against Ashanti Gold.
Musah came off the bench and scored two own goals in the final 12 minutes, leaving Inter Allies 7-0 down.
The defender couldn’t have made his own goals look more deliberate if he’d tried.
The defender claims he netted the two goals on purpose because he believes the score had been agreed in advance for betting purposes.
And Ghana FA Executive Council member Sarfo Oduro wants the player to be rewarded.
“He (Hashim Musah) saved the club from disgrace. I will make him the captain of my team if he was playing for me.
“Any proper football manager will tell you the player was brave and must be rewarded. There is no action without intent and he has told us the intention.”
This was the final game of the season and Musah’s team, Inter Allies, had already been relegated from Ghana’s Premier League.
Trailing 5-0, Musah entered the fray as a second-half substitute before taking matters into his own hands.
He was then subbed off before full-time following his brace of own goals.
