Last Sunday I went to watch a football match between the local team Ashanti Gold and a team from Niger called Sahel FC.
This was the second leg, Ashgold had lost the first leg 1-0 in Niger so then needed a convincing victory to go through to the next round. I was fortune enough to sit with the VVIP's and was only a few seats away from the delegates from the away team Sahel FC.
The first half was very tense, both teams scored within minutes of each other after about 15 minutes. At halftime most of the crowd was disappointed by the way that Ashgold had played, then came the second half!
About 10 minutes after half time I noticed a disturbance in the crowd where the away supporters were seated, these seemed to be a number of Ashgold fans fighting with the away supporters, yes it even happens in Africa! I then notice the police chasing a couple of of the away fans, then 5 minutes later the two away fans appeared just in front of me being treated by the St. John's medics. It later transpired that the two fans had Juju or black magic on them that were preventing Ashgold from scoring, during the disagreement the Juju was taken from the away fans and Ashgold went on to score a further 5 goals, winning 6-2 on aggregate.
I have uploaded quite a few photos of the match to my Flickr account, slide show is below:
