Black Stars keeper Richard Ofori has explained why he made a slight touch on a ball that was already out of play during Ghana’s match against Mozambique in Afcon 2023.
The Orlando Pirates shot stopper faced serious criticism for what was perceived as a ‘mistake’ contributing to Mozambique’s second goal, ultimately leading to Ghana’s elimination from the group stage of the tournament.
With numerous Ghanaians expressing disappointment over the early exit and a few even calling for the dissolution of the team due to poor performance, Richard Ofori clarified his actions in a post-match interview after the Mozambique match.
According to him, his intention was not to gift Mozambique a corner kick in the 94th minute that led to the second goal.
Instead, he mentioned that the ball was bouncing in front of him, heading far from his side, prompting him to stretch his hands involuntarily.

According to him, Richard Ofori intentionally touches ball whiles he knows the ball is going out of play but later claims not have touched it which led to Mozambique’s equalizer in the 90th minute of the game.
He said that despite the efforts displayed by Ofori to ensure that Ghana maintained the scoreline in the entire match, his dumb attitude sent the side packing back home to their motherland.
