2024/2025 GPL: Holy Stars, Nations FC game abandoned after violence

Drama unfolded in the Ghana Premier League on Sunday. Nations FC walked off the pitch during their match against Holy Stars. This happened after Holy Stars received a second controversial penalty.

The match took place at the Ampain AAK II Arena. Nations FC needed at least a draw to keep their title hopes alive. There was only one round of fixtures remaining.

Tension peaked in the 33rd minute. Holy Stars were awarded their second penalty, causing outrage among Nations FC players and staff. Goalkeeper Kofi Mensah clashed with officials, requiring police intervention.

This was the second penalty for Holy Stars in the first half. The first penalty had already given them a 1-0 lead.

Nations FC players protested by surrounding the referee. They argued that both penalties were soft and unjustified. After heated discussions, Nations FC made the shocking decision to walk off the pitch.

Fans watched in disbelief as the entire team exited the field. They refused to continue playing, leading to an abandoned game.

The Ghana Football Association will decide on this incident soon. Their decision is expected before next weekend’s season finale.
