"Even Maguire scores own goals"- Banned Ashantigold player defends Hashim Musah's bizarre own goals

Published on: 18 May 2022

Ashantigold forward Seth Osei claims he is innocent of the match-fixing scandal between his club and Inter Allies, claiming the two own goals that led to the probe into the match were normal errors. 

According to Seth Osei, even Manchester United captain Harry Maguire scores own goals defending the awkward goals scored by Hashim Musah.

The Ghana Football Association slapped the midfielder with a 30-month ban following his role in the manipulated game.

The Disciplinary Committee of the federation released their verdict after investigations into the game, insisting the match was manipulated.

"I can confirm that we played a competitive game against Inter Allies in Obuasi," he told Pure FM

"Hashmin Musah decided to score two own goals and for me, it happens in football and I don't have any issue with that because Harry Maguire who is a top player has been scoring own goals.

"I am innocent of this scandal. I was never involved in this. It was a competitive game so why the ban?."
