Following a goalless draw against Nsoatreman on Sunday, the management of Ghana Premier League team Bofoakwa Tano denounced the aggressive attitude of certain supporters at the Sunyani Coronation Park.
The closely contested match between the two clubs on Matchday 11 ended goalless, but the aftermath took a dangerous turn when a mob of supporters allegedly assaulted players and Nsoatreman’s coach, Maxwell Konadu, hospitalised him.
