Video: Kwame Ofori scores a stunner in Austria Lustenau B home defeat to Lauterach

The 20-year-old climbed the bench to net a late consolation for his side as they were humbled at home on Saturday

Ghanaian young striker Kwame Ofori scored a screamer for Austria Lustenau II in their 5-2 home defeat to Lauterach in Austria second-tier on Saturday.

After coming on from the bench by the 68th minute to replace Paul Fink, the youngster tormented the visitors defence in their attempt to reduce a 5-1 scoreline but failed on several counts.

However, on 90th minute, Ofori latched onto a pass from a teammate and quickly fired past goalkeeper Nicolas Mohr.

However it was too little too late to stage a comeback in the game and the defeat means that Lustenau II have gone three games without a win.

Ofori has now scored three goals in six league games this season and has promised to hit double figures by the end of the campaign.

Breaking News: Berekum Arsenals owner Yakubu Moro confirmed dead

The Agye s3 tuo bankroller has been confirmed dead by family after battling a short illness

The owner and bankroller of former Ghana Premier League side Berekum Arsenals, Alhaji Yakubu Moro, has been confirmed dead in Accra according to sources close to AshesGyamera.com.

The outspoken football administrator had been sick for a couple of weeks and usually visited the Holy Family Hospital in the Berekum municipality.

However, his condition became severe on Thursday evening at the Ridge Hospital in Accra since that was where he had been for the past week and despite efforts by close relatives and doctors, he could not survive.

Under his stewardship, Arsenals were able to qualify to the 2006 Caf Confederation Cup but were kicked out in the second round by Petro de Luanda of Angola 2-0 on aggregate thanks to goals from Mbiavanga and Z’Calanga.

Before his untimely demise, Arsenals were playing in the second-tier of Ghana league and had high hopes of securing a return to the top-flight ahead of the upcoming season.

Per Islam practice, Moro is likely to be buried on Friday morning as part of the ‘Adua’ before a mini funeral rite can be organised by the family at his former residence.

Breaking: CAS reduces Kwesi Nyantakyi’s lifetime ban to 12 years

The country’s former football governing body chief has seen his lifetime ban reduced following an appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sports

Former Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi has been handed a good news this week following a decision by Court of Arbitration for Sports to reduce a lifetime ban handed him by Fifa to twelve years, AshesGyamera.com can reveal.

Nyantakyi was found guilty of abuse of power by world’s football governing body Fifa, after he was caught in a video by undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and his Tiger Eye PI crew in 2018.

“The adjudicatory chamber of the independent Ethics Committee has banned Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi, former President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), for life from all football-related activities (administrative, sports or any other) at both national and international level,” a Fifa statement read two years ago.

“The adjudicatory chamber found Mr. Nyantakyi guilty of having violated art. 19 (Conflicts of interest), art. 21 (Bribery and corruption) and art. 22 (Commission) of the FIFA Code of Ethics, 2012 edition.

“As a consequence, Mr Nyantakyi is banned for life from all football-related activities (administrative, sports or any other) at both national and international level. Additionally, a fine in the amount of CHF 500,000 has been imposed on Mr Nyantakyi.

“The decision was notified to Mr Nyantakyi today, and the ban comes into force immediately,” the statement added.

However, Nyantakyi has been given a major boost by CAS as his ban has been reduced until 2030 where he can return to partake in the day-to-day running of the sport.

Kurt Okraku succeeded Nyantakyi in 2019 as the new Ghana FA president and would likely seek for another term in office in 2023
