SHOCKER: I scored two own goals to ‘spoil opponents’ bet’ – Hasmin Musah of Inter Allies
Fans of the Ghana Premier League were shocked on Sunday after footage of an Inter Allies player, Hasmin Musah, scoring two own goals in their match against Ashgold went viral.
Ashgold won the match, which was their last of the league season, 7-0, aided by Musah’s bizzare own goals.
The first of Musah’s own goals came with Ashgold leading 5-0 in the 78th minute, with the second coming four minutes later.
The player has since justified his actions, stating in an interview with Kumasi FM that he put the ball past his own goalkeeper twice to ruin an apparent bet that had been made prior to the game, predicting a 5-1 scoreline.
He said his actions were as a result of his derision for gambling.
“I heard it in our hotel that a bet had been made for a correct score line of 5 goals to 1 against my club Inter Allies.
“I decided to spoil that bet because I don’t condone betting,” he is quoted as having said in the interview.
