Nations FC sensationally walked off the pitch during their crucial encounter with Basake Holy Stars at the Ampain AAK II Arena, following the award of a second contentious penalty to their opponents.
With just one round of fixtures remaining in the season, the match was pivotal for Nations FC, who needed at least a draw to keep their title aspirations alive.
However, the tension escalated dramatically in the 33rd minute when the referee awarded Holy Stars their second penalty of the first half — a decision that sparked furious protests from the Nations FC camp.
Tempers flared as goalkeeper Kofi Mensah confronted match officials in a heated exchange that required police intervention.
Holy Stars had already taken a 1-0 lead from the first spot-kick, and the second decision proved to be the breaking point for Nations FC.
Surrounding the referee in protest, Nations FC players and technical staff vehemently disputed both penalty calls, labelling them as soft and unwarranted.
Following an extended stoppage and intense discussions on the sidelines, the team made the extraordinary decision to abandon the match.
Stunned spectators looked on as the entire Nations FC squad exited the field, refusing to continue play.
Despite efforts to resume the game, the match was officially abandoned after Nations FC declined to return.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is now expected to review the incident and make a ruling in the coming days, with the season finale looming next weekend.
