Published on: 10 May 2021

The matchday 3 game between Ebusua Dwarfs and Legon Cities was abandoned after the first 45 minutes after fans of the home team threatened the match officials.

Legon Cities who travelled to the Cape Coast Stadium on Sunday broke the deadlock in the 9th minute through Richmond Antwi.

However, centre referee Alpha Adey, his assistants and the match commissioner all failed to show up for the second half.

According to a tweet from Legon Cities, the referee said he did not feel safe officiating the rest of the game after Ebusua Dwarfs fans threatened him with beatings.

After waiting for close to two hours for the start of the second half, both teams retreated to the dressing room and the game never saw a conclusion.

However, Ebusua Dwarfs meanwhile have denied that their fas threatened the match officials.

The Ghana Football Association has yet to comment on the incident.
