I. Allies Suspectes Foul Play In League Defeat

Inter Allies suspect something fishy happened between their goalkeeper and Accra Hearts of Oak in their 3-2 loss to the Phobians in their Match-Day Five fixture of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) on Sunday.

Goalkeeper Kwame Baah came on late for the second half and Willie Klutse, Technical Director of the club, alleges he suspects some Hearts of Oak officials might have influenced him which eventually led to them surrendering a 2-0 lead to lose 3-2.

The U-20 goalkeeper was on holiday until Hearts of Oak pounced late on to  record the win which saw them maintain their unbeaten start to the campaign as they lead the GPL standing.

Two of the goals he conceded by the goalkeeper, raised eyebrows for the Ghana youth international.

And Willie Klutse who was in the stands to watch his side suffer their first home defeat of the season, believes some fishy deals might have occurred during recess of that game.

“Before the second half, the goalkeeper was discussing issues of choice of jersey with the match officials and I don’t get it,” the 1978 Africa Cup of Nations winner told Accra based, Asempa FM.

“When he went to change his shirt in the dressing room, he came late and I am still wondering what he was doing there,’ he added.

“He delayed for about four minutes and I suspect that something went on in the dressing room when he went in to change his jersey, I can’t conclude but I need to find out what really kept him in the dressing room when his colleagues were already on the pitch, “he said.

“We will meet today in this and other issues, and, answers would be demanded on what happened,” he stated.
