10th October, 2011

Tamale Utrecht football club on Monday played a goalless game that was abandoned mid-way in the second half by referees after they were chased away by rampaging supporters in the regional el-classico game against Galaxy FC.

The two sides were drawing goalless until a penalty was awarded to TUFC after Jafaru A. Somed was brought down in the penalty area by the Galaxy FC goalkeeper. Referee A. A. Alhassan’s decision for a penalty and a red card to the goalkeeper invited an attack on him from angry fans of Galaxy FC.

The helpless referee was beaten up, his dress torn and subsequently chased out of the field ending the gruelling encounter abruptly with some fans disappointed for the behaviour of their colleagues.

Earlier Galaxy FC wasted a penalty in the first half after Muniru Aziz had committed a foul in his area. Alhassan Mohammed received a red card after a second bookable offence when the defender challenged the referee’s decision for the penalty against TUFC.

Scores of Fans were still bemoaning over the incidence moments after the crowd pulling game had ended at the Tamale Kaladan park.

The other zone 1 match was not played following the withdrawal of Tamale Allstars in the said match citing lack of confidence in the officiating officials.

10 clubs including TUFC have therefore been confirmed to move to the next phase of the competition that is scheduled to start on Wednesday October 12.The RFA is expected to release the groupings and fixtures tomorrow.
