AshantGold denies match-fixing allegations against Inter Allies
Ghana Premier League side Ashantigold has denied any involvement in a match-fixing scandal that has rocked their 7-0 demolishing of Inter Allies on the final day of the season.
The miners scored five goals before Inter Allies defender Hashim Musah directed the ball into his own net on two occasions.
The center-back claimed afterward that it was aimed at destroying the work of a betting syndicate.
The Ghana FA has opened an investigation into the seven-goal episode at the Len Clay Stadium.
But the former Premier League champions have denied the widespread reports in the local media.
Speaking on Kessben Sports with Joe Laka, Prof. Darling said, “We take notice of the video circulating in relation to our game against Inter Allies and wish to state unequivocally dissociate ourselves from any wrongdoing,” a club statement on Monday read.
“Ashantigold played competitively in the entire duration of the game, with our players scoring five great goals through hard work and team effort in the 15th, 26th, 42nd, 49th, and 77th respectively.
