Ghana Premier League player admits scoring two deliberate own goals to foil match-fixing plot

The defender saw his actions at the weekend go viral on social media after he converted twice past his own goalkeeper

Inter Allies defender Hashmin Musah has confessed to scoring two intentional own goals in Saturday’s Ghana Premier League clash with Ashanti Gold in order to defy an attempt at match-fixing from his own team.

The club went down 7-0 in the match, with Musah coming off the bench to net twice past his own keeper in the final 12 minutes.

He claims that he did so on purpose as he believes that the score had been agreed in advance for betting purposes.
