Ghana Premier League side Ashantigold have denied any wrongdoing in their 7-0 win against Inter Allies on Saturday at the Len Clay Stadium.

The club released a statement on Monday afternoon denying any allegation of match-fixing in the fixture

Full Statement:

“We take notice of the video circulating in relation to our game against Inter Allies and wish to state unequivocally dissociate ourselves from any wrongdoing,” a club statement on Monday read.

“Ashantigold played competitively in the entire duration of the game, with our players scoring five great goals through hard work and team effort in the 15th, 26th, 42nd, 49th and 77th respectively.

“We have no idea as to why the opponents’ player scored two own goals after we were up by five goals with 13 minutes to end the game.

“We demonstrated throughout the game we were determined to play to the best of our abilities, and not to play any predetermined score line as its been circulated.

“We therefore vehemently dissociate ourselves from any match fixing and wish to urge all persons and organizations wrongfully accusing the club of match-fixing to desist from that, as we won’t hesitate to take legal action against such parties.

“As a renowned sports brand, we have always believed in fair play and would continue to act in the good interest of the game.”
