Basake Holy Stars have officially petitioned the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to be awarded three points and three goals following the abrupt abandonment of their Ghana Premier League clash with title contenders Nations FC.
The heated penultimate fixture took a dramatic turn when Nations FC walked off the pitch after Holy Stars were awarded a second penalty.
Holy Stars had already taken the lead through an earlier spot-kick when tensions boiled over, sparking a scuffle that required security intervention. Moments later, Nations FC exited the field, effectively bringing the game to an end.
The GFA has confirmed the incident is under investigation.
This latest controversy adds to a season already mired in chaos. Earlier, the stabbing of Kotoko supporter and eventual death of Nana Pooley led to a temporary league suspension and urgent reforms.
Despite those efforts, tensions have persisted; Nsoatreman eventually pulled out of the competition, and now Nations FC seem poised to follow suit.
Holy Stars’ request for the points could have major implications for the title race. Nations FC are currently level on points with second-placed Bibiani Gold Stars heading into the final matchday.
A ruling in favor of Holy Stars could dent Nations FC’s hopes of clinching their first-ever Premier League title.
The GFA is expected to announce a decision in the coming days, a verdict that could shape the outcome of an already turbulent season.
