Asamoah Gyan scores for Keyserispor despite elimination

The striker came off the bench to score for his side but that wasn’t enough to see them through

Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan was on target when Keyserispor shared the spoils 2-2 against Akhisarspor in the Turkish League Club on Wednesday.

The stalemate, however, wasn’t enough to qualify them to the next round of the competition 3-2 on aggregate following a 1-0 defeat in the first leg.

The 32-year-old was a second half substitute after he came on to replace Gonzalo Espinoza by the 63rd minute.

Soner Aydogdu got the opener for the visitors before on 25th minute before Artem Kravets levelled the scoreline eleven minutes later for Keyserispor.

However, Eray Ataseven scored again for Akhisarspor to make it 2-1 until Asamoah Gyan fetched the equaliser from the spot very late in additional time but, it was too little too late to turn the game on its head.

Gyan joined Keyserispor from Chinese side Shanghai SIPG after a loan spell at Al Ahli Dubai.

Kotoko probable XI to face CARA Brazzaville on Sunday

 

Following series of training and low profile matches, Asante Kotoko head coach Steve Polack has made up his mind to field two strikers against CARA Brazzaville in the preliminary round of the Caf Confederations Cup on Sunday at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, AshesGyamera understands.

The Porcupine Warriors are in a dire need of good results in the first leg and Steve Polack, according to our monitoring has decided to start former Atletico Madrid striker Sadick Adams alongside Obed Owusu, as a sweeper, since Frederick Boateng was not registered for the competition, while goalkeeper Felix Annan man the post ahead of Michael Abu and 15-year-old Danlad Ibrahim.

In defence, former Aduana Stars centre-back Wahab Adams is likely to partner Awudu Nafui, while Augustine Sefa and Amos Frimpong get the nods on the laterals.

Owusu Jackson is likely to start ahead of Seth Opare with Kwame Boahene, Emmanuel Gyamfi and evergreen Jordan Opoku complementing the attacking opinions of the midfield as Kotoko need fluidity in midfield in order to create more chances and score more goals ahead of the return leg on February 21.

Probable XI:
Felix Annan- , Augustine Sefa, Awudu Nafiu, Wahab Adams, Amos Frimpong- Jackson Owusu, Emmanuel Gyamfi, Jordan Opoku, Kwame Boahene- Sadick Adams, Obed Owusu

Ghana FA postpones annual congress indefinitely after court injunction

 

Ghana Football Association has officially cancelled the 2018 Congress ahead of the commencement of the new Ghana Premier League season.

The decision came as a result of an injunction placedon all activities relating to the Premier League by Great Olympics   on Monday, after they insisted that they have been unfairly treated by the association’s judicial body.

The Wonder Club saw their protests against Elmina Sharks and Bechem United thrown out and have thus resorted to the law court.

“The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has indefinitely postponed the 24th Ordinary session of Congress which was scheduled to be held at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence (GSCE) in Prampram on Thursday February 8, 2018,” a statement read.

“This postponement is as a result of a legal action brought against the Association by Accra Great Olympics Football Club Limited.

The statement added: “The GFA has also indefinitely postponed its much publicized GFA Seminar for the Premier, Division One, Women League clubs, Match Officials and the Media scheduled for Wednesday February 7 at the GSCE in Prampram.

“The GFA sincerely apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this postponement.”

Liberty Professionals captain Samuel Sarfo joins Saipa FC in Iran

Ghana and Liberty Professional defender Samuel Sarfo has signed for Iranian giants Saipa FC in a one-and-half-year deal, AshesGyamera can confirm.

The 26-year-old, who was close to joining Ghana FA Cup champions Asante Kotoko, after agreeing personal terms, opted to move outside for greener pastures.

Although, the fee involved in his transfer hasn’t been confirmed by both parties, reports in the local media suggests that he joined the Iranian club in a deal worth around $150,000.

Sarfo, who made his debut for Ghana in 2017 under coach Kwesi Appiah, scored seven goals last season to help Liberty avoid relegation.

Sarfo has become the second player to join an Arabian club after Samuel Afful also joined a club in Iraq.

#Breaking: Ghana Premier League launch called off after court injunction

The launch for the 2017-18 Ghana Premier League couldn’t take place as scheduled after Great Olympics filed an injunction and served Ghana Football Association on Monday afternoon, AshesGyamera can confirm.

Although, the football association’s Twitter handle revealed earlier that the program will continue unabated as the 16 club’s expected to play in the top-flight next season will present their registered jerseys, the program was called off after several advice from top lawyers.

According to them, it will be a contempt of court if the program takes place and clubs present their jerseys and since the program can’t take place without that part, GFA agreed to cancel it until further notice.

AshesGyamera understands that Great Olympics are contesting why Ghana FA failed to address their protests against Bechem United and Elmina Sharks after the two clubs allegedly fielded unqualified players.

Great Olympics place injunction on Ghana Premier League, New season in limbo

 

Ghana Football Association have been served with an injunction from Great Olympics on Monday to halt all activities related to the kickoff of 2017-18 Ghana Premier League season which was scheduled to kick off on January 13.

The Wonder Club are crying foul after alleging that their protests against an unqualified player fielded by Bechem United and Elmina Sharks were thrown out despite having proofs of the legalities.

According to the club’s CEO, Oloboi Commodore, the football association can’t hold anything related to the start of the season without Olympics.

“I was at GFA secretariat this afternoon to hand over the injunction letter and prevent them from holding anything related to the start of the new season until all cases are cleared,” Commodore told Goal.

“The general secretary took the letter on the association’s behalf. We have two cases against Bechem United and Elmina Sharks and that can determine our faith in the Premier League. As I’m talking to you right now, we’ve not been relegated and so there can’t be plans about the new season without us.

“They can’t hold the launch of the new season or announce the clubs to participate without addressing our case. Also, the association can’t hold its congress and discuss the Premier League or club’s that have been promoted or relegated until the case is attended and all parties satisfied,” he added.

However, AshesGyamera understands that the launch of the new season will take place on Monday evening.

Daniel Opare’s agent Nathaniel explains brouhaha with Augsburg

Ghana defender Daniel Opare’s agent Chris Nathaniel has revealed that Augsburg terminated the contract of his client because he failed to extend his contract.

The 28-year-old has only five months left on his current deal after joining the German side from FC Porto in 2015 and reports suggested that he was spotted having transfer talks with Schalke after his move to former Premier League champions Leicester City fell through.

According to Nathaniel, Opare never flouted any laws in football and believes the defender has been treated unfairly by Augsburg.

“​I am shocked by the recent false ​statements about my client Daniel Opare​.” Nathaniel told The Sun.

“​Firstly, ​ he is still contracted to FC Augsburg and will be ​t​here until the end of the season when his contract ends so the talk of him being sacked are incorrect.​”

​”​I received a call from FC Augsburg on Thursday stating unless my client signed the contract they had offered in two days he would not play for the club​ again.”

“​The offer from the club did not meet my client’s requirements and he was subsequently banished from first​-​team activities and even asked to clear his locker,​ which I found petty and unprofessional considering he has been at the club for some 30 months​.”

“​Daniel will continue to train hard and will be available to help the ​club if called upon and it​ i​ironic his temperament was never put into question before the contract issue.”

​He added: “Finally Daniel has five months on his contract so he is entitled legally to talk with any club​. He is proud to be linked with ​clubs like Leicester​ ​and Schalke but he has been and will continue to be focused on helping Augsburg finish as high in the league as possible whenever called upon​.”​

Opare has been in a wonderful form this season in the Bundesliga leading to Leicester’s £2.5 million bid which was rejected.
