Augustine Okrah, a striker for Bechem United, has been disciplined for his unsportsmanlike conduct during the MTN FA Cup final versus Hearts of Oak on June 26, 2022.
In response to Okrah’s headbutting of Stephen Balanguena, Ghanaian football fans resorted to social media to voice their displeasure.
An unforgivable behaviour by Okrah in the second half of the contest resulted in his dismissal.
When a throw-in went against him instead of in his favor, the speedster lost his cool.
– –
Bechem had already fallen down 2-1 when the incident occurred, and the former Asante Kotoko player, who had been playing well before to the incident, lost his cool and headbutted Balanguena after becoming enraged about the decision.
Okrah was widely criticized for the Hunters’ 2-1 loss in the game.
– –
Others blasted the winger, calling his behavior “inappropriate” and “childish” in nature.
Check out some reactions below:
Augustine Okrah should serve a retrospective ban.

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.

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.
