What was supposed to be a week of retrospection; highlighting the conclusion of the first Ghana Premier League season in four years, has rather turned into chaos.
A video which has been circulating on social media since Monday morning showed Inter Allies defender Hashmin Musah scoring two own goals in their 7-0 defeat to AshGold.
Musah defended his actions stating that he didn't want to condone to betting.
Both clubs have since disassociated themselves from the match fixing allegations as the Ghana Football Association continues its investigations.
Here are some reactions of Ghanaians who took to social media to express their disappointment using #FixGPL:
I’ve been asked many times why Betway doesn’t offer any odds on Ghana Premier League matches and I think this is why. Our league has credibility issues that need fixing immediately. #FixGPL

I wonder what the Ghana FA wants to investigate after the videos we've seen!
— George Addo Jnr (@addojunr) July 19, 2021
This match does not belong to the category of matches that deserve investigation -
These Clubs deserve outright dismissal for the sake of the product-"Ghana football"
Let's be serious!#FixGPL pic.twitter.com/R0tEYT2uzF
Look at the match fixing in our league. We were talking about bringing back the love some few weeks ago, now look at this. #FixGPL

Something doesn’t add up.

If Inter Allies knew AshGold wanted five goals and wanted to ruin it, why didn’t they prevent them from scoring five in the first place? After waiting for them to score five, then you score two own goals to “spoil” it. Doesn’t make sense #FixGPL
Ashgold and Inter Allies should be demoted to division 3...#FixGPL
— Andy (@NkrumahAnderso5) July 19, 2021
An embarrassment to Ghana football...sika no ahye😂 @PapaPoku
Ashanti Gold should be relegated from the GPL by the GFA and the club's sponsor which is betway should also be banned from sponsoring any team and remove the option on betting on Ghana Premier League from their site.#FixGPL #fixedmatches

You could still fix a match without all these so many acting. It doesn't even look like it was soccer that was being played.#FixGPL

They said we should bring back the love, but on the real they've to #FixGPL before.

You expose your league to such shameless and criminal activities and want us to patronize the league?

One season of attention and effort to support the Ghana premier league and they back to default - match fixing. Shameful #FixGPL

The FA is not serious at all. This is not the first time such an act has happened in de league it happened also in wk 33 game btn Inter Allies v Aduana. I even think all the teams are involved. The FA is sick nd needs urgent treatment #FIXGPL

It is now apparent that most of the matches that were played off-camera were not on a fairground.

This canker of match-fixing must be dealt with. #FixGPL pic.twitter.com/lKz3RT2CcP

They want us to love and promote our premier league yet they are fixing matches.

They won't even do it in a smart way as well, nonsense! #FixGPL
