- Kumchacha alleges Gyan's penalty miss was politically motivated
- Gyan's NPP support led to missed penalty, claims Kumchacha
- Penalty miss led to Ghana's World Cup loss
- Claims spark controversy and debate
Prophet Kumchacha has made a shocking claim about Asamoah Gyan’s performance in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Kumchacha alleged that Asamoah Gyan deliberately missed a crucial penalty due to his political affiliations.
According to Kumchacha, Asamoah Gyan’s support for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) influenced his decision.
Gyan allegedly wanted to prevent the then-ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) from gaining glory.
Kumchacha stated that Gyan’s political beliefs led him to miss the penalty, which would have advanced Ghana to the semi-finals.
The incident occurred during the quarter-final match against Uruguay in 2010. Asamoah Gyan had the chance to secure a victory for Ghana with a penalty kick but hit the crossbar.
Ghana eventually lost in the subsequent penalty shootout, making it a heartbreaking moment in Ghanaian football history.
Kumchacha’s claims have sparked controversy, with many questioning the motivation behind Gyan’s actions. The allegation has reignited debate about the intersection of politics and sports in Ghana.
