The management of Inter Allies Football Club has condemned the two own goals scored by defender Hashmin Musah in the 7-0 defeat to Ashanti Gold SC in the Ghana Premier League.
According to the centre-back, he deliberately put the ball at the back of his own net two times because he wanted to spoil a bet staked by officials of the opponent.
