Ghanaians slam Augustine Okrah for headbutting a referee during FA Cup final

Hearts of Oak win MTN FA Cup after beating Bechem United

Hearts of Oak defeated Bechem United, with Augustin Okrah receiving a red card

Hearts of Oak capture back-to-back MTN FA Cup championships

Bechem United forward, Augustine Okrah, has been chastised for his unsporting behaviour during the MTN FA Cup final against Hearts of Oak on Sunday, June 26, 2022.

Ghanaian football fanatics took to social media to call out Okrah for headbutting assistant line one, Stephen Balanguena.

Okrah was given his marching orders for his unpardonable act that occurred in the second half of the match.

The speedster lost his cool when a throw-in, which he thought should have gone his way was called against him instead.

With Bechem already down by 2-1 at that point, the former Asante Kotoko man, who had a decent game before the incident, could not keep his cool as he headbutted Balanguena after furiously complaining about the call.

The Hunters lost the game 2-1 as many blamed the defeat on Okrah.

Others condemned the winger, saying that his actions were inappropriate.

Though the linesman got the spot wrong, Augustine Okrah should have done better because we’ve seen referees and linesmen who even gives out worse decisions than this.

If there is any apology to be rendered to Bechem United fans, Augustine Okrah must do them the honors. He allowed pride and anger tarnish his image.

He should ask Zidane. These needless headbutt memory at finals don't go away so easily. pic.twitter.com/fLOXOGUEbB

An experienced player like Augustine Okrah shouldn't have done what he did to the Assistant Ref. Absolute madness on his part. Cost his team dearly and showed why many of our players don't make it big time as expected. Very disappointing behaviour

Augustine Okrah headbutts the assistant referee and has been sent off.

The one player they needed is the man who betrayed Bechem United.

What a shame!
