Orlando top player Richard Ofori his going load transfer……..

Richard OforThe Black Stars are set to exit at the group stage after failing to win in three matches against Cape Verde, Egypt and Mozambique.

 

They were minutes away from picking up a vital three points against Mozambique and would have done so if not for a big blunder from Ofori.

 

Former West Ham star Jordan Ayew scored twice from the penalty spot to give Ghana a 2-0 lead, before Geny Catamo pulled one back from 12 yards in stoppage time.

 

That meant there was time for late heartbreak as Reinildo Mandava jumped highest at the back post to steer a header into the top corner to equalise.

 

However Mozambique only won the corner thanks to an incredible lapse in concentration from Ofori, who plays for Orlando Pirates in South Africa.

ACE ARREST Ex-Premier League star charged with drink-driving after being pulled over

Mozambique star Mexer sliced an effort from outside the box that was bouncing harmlessly out of play – before Ofori intervened.

 

The keeper appeared to try to catch the ball before being caught in two minds, leading him to instead palm out the ball for a corner.

 

Fans could scarcely believe what they were watching as one reacted saying: “This tournament is quality.”

 

Another added: “The most unnecessary mistake ever seen.”
