Not only did Samuel Ofori score a goal for Nsoatreman FC to make a record in Ghana Premier League, he also used this jersey and 'bizzare' numbering to achieve that feat. In 2022, this kind of things still exist in Ghana Premier League. You talk p3, dem say agenda

@iambettyyawson added:

But why did the referees even allow Nsoatreman to play with this?. Ghanaian clubs paaa de3. After they will come and cry sponsorship. Smh

FT: Nsoatreman 1-0 Gold Stars. 2nd successive defeat for Gold Stars in GPL. Both losses suffered due to 2nd half goals. Nsoatreman's goalscorer, Samuel Ofori had his shirt number 33 written on a paper and attached to his jersey. In a professional league? HOW!!!
