Hashmin Musah, a Ghanaian footballer who plays for the Ghana Premier League club, Inter Allies said his bosses congratulated him for his two own goals after they lost to 7-0 to opponents Ashantigold in their final league game at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.

The player in question was a subsitute.

On different occasions, the defender shot into his own net to the dismay of the fans watching, GhanaWeb reports.

Speaking exclusively on Kumasi FM, the Inter Allies defender Hashmin Musah revealed that he deliberately scored the two own goals to ‘spoil the bet’ of a correct scoreline their opponents had staked.

"I heard it in our hotel that there was a correct scoreline of 5 goals to 1 against my club Inter Allies. I decided to spoil that bet because I don't condone betting."

He added, “After the game, my technical team commended me for spoiling the bet they[Ashgold] had staked.”

”I promised my coach that if he allows me to play from the bench I will spoil the bet and after the game, my team congratulated me,” Hashim Musah revealed.
