The veteran football administrator has aimed a dig at the country’s all-time top scorer after he suggested that the penalty awarded Ghana against South Africa was very soft

Alhaji Karim Grunsah, owner and bankroller of Ghana Premier League side King Faisal has launched a scathing attack on former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan following his comment against Senegalese referee Maguitta Ndiaye who officiated the final Group G World Cup qualifying game.

Gyan suggested that the penalty which was awarded to the Black Stars in the Fifa World Cup qualifier against South Africa was a soft one.

According to the 36-year-old, Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey went down too easily after the challenge by the South African defender and because there was a high tempo in the game, it forced Senegalese referee Maguette Ndiaye to award Ghana a penalty which was scored by Andre Ayew who was making his 100th cap for Ghana.

“I think the incident was a bit casual,” Gyan told Asempa FM in an interview.

“There weren’t many cameras on the day to give us different angles unlike what we see in other league matches elsewhere but from where I sat and how I saw it, the infringement was debatable. I think Daniel Amartey went down too easily.

“This is my thought based on where I sat and how I saw things. However, the referee was closer to the spot and probably had he a better view of the situation.

“Remember also that the tempo of the game was also high and that could have influenced the referee’s decision to award the spot-kick to Ghana

“We all Ghanaians and support the Black Stars to win games so I always follow them even though I’m not part of the squad. I’m always supporting them to qualify to the World Cup. If I compare the game against Ethiopia and South Africa, I would say the Black Stars were better against South

“In the game against Ethiopia, Black Stars were dominated throughout but they improved their performance against South Africa,” Gyan added.

The comments has irked Grunsah and the outspoken administrator suggest Gyan is an ungrateful person who is on a mission to bring instability in the Black Stars ambitions to make it to the World Cup.

“Asamoah Gyan is an ungrateful person and a pretender,” Alhaji Grunsah told Atinka FM.

“He won’t even get the opportunity to become a ball boy again with the Black Stars. He should stop talking about the penalty against South Africa if he has no better things to tell Ghanaians,” he added.

South Africa officially protested against Ghana to Fifa and the referee and the final verdict is expected to be released in the coming days.
