Basake Holy Stars demand points after abandoned clash with Nations FC

Basake Holy Stars have written to the Ghana Football Association (GFA). They are requesting three points and three goals. This follows the abandonment of their match against Nations FC.

The league match became controversial when Nations FC walked off the pitch. The GFA has stated that they are investigating the matter.

Holy Stars filed a formal protest with the GFA Disciplinary Committee. They seek to be awarded three points and three goals from their week 33 match against Nations FC.

During the game, Holy Stars led by one goal from a penalty. They were awarded a second penalty when tensions rose. A scuffle broke out, prompting security personnel to intervene. After this, Nations FC left the match.

Later, Nations FC issued a statement alleging mistreatment during the game. They claimed their chairman was assaulted and fans were intimidated. They also criticized officiating and security measures at the match.

Nations FC has threatened to withdraw from the league. Their chairman, Dr. Kwame Kyei, expressed regret over his investment in Ghana football. This incident adds to a troubled season marked by controversy.

Earlier this season, Kotoko supporter Nana Pooley was stabbed, leading to a temporary league suspension. Despite reforms after that incident, issues continued, resulting in Nsoatreman withdrawing from competition.

Now, Nations FC may also withdraw following this latest incident. Meanwhile, Basake Holy Stars are pushing for points that could impact the title race significantly.

Nations FC is chasing their first-ever Premier League title and needed a win to boost their chances. However, abandoning the match makes it likely that points will go to Holy Stars or lead to a replay.

Currently, Nations FC and second-placed Bibiani Gold Stars are tied on points as they head into the final matchday. The GFA is expected to announce its decision soon regarding this incident.
