(Video) Asamoah Gyan intentionally missed the World Cup penalty to shame NDC - Prophet Kumchacha
Prophet Kumchacha has made a striking claim regarding Asamoah Gyan’s infamous penalty miss during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Speaking on UTV’s United Showbiz on September 14, 2024, Kumchacha suggested that Gyan’s failure to convert the crucial penalty was a deliberate act influenced by his political affiliations.
According to Kumchacha, Gyan, a known supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), intentionally missed the penalty to prevent the then-ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) from gaining any potential credit or glory.
Kumchacha’s assertion hinges on the belief that Gyan’s political alignment influenced his actions on the pitch, with the penalty miss seen as a way to undermine the NDC’s achievements.
The incident in question occurred during the 2010 World Cup quarter-final between Ghana and Uruguay. With the match tied 1-1 and only moments left on the clock, Gyan had a chance to secure Ghana’s place in the semi-finals with a penalty kick.
Unfortunately, his attempt struck the crossbar, and Ghana was ultimately defeated in the subsequent penalty shootout, marking a painful chapter in the nation’s football history.
Kumchacha’s comments have ignited discussions and debates, with some questioning the validity of his claims and others reflecting on the impact of the missed penalty on Ghana’s World Cup aspirations.
