Ghana lead Zambia by two points and any result apart from a defeat would see the Black Stars advancing to the final stage of the qualifiers.
But reports making the rounds in Kumasi indicated that some Ghanaian soccer fans, for reasons best known to themselves, were trying to find ways to help Zambia to beat Ghana. These unpatriotic persons, not identified so far, were said to believe in ‘juju’ so they were relying on it to help Zambia accomplish their wish for them.
One Oteng, an employee of the National Sports Authority in Kumasi said on Angel FM that they were aware of the ‘juju’ scare.
