Sports Brief reported that a horrifying scene unfolded at the end of Baroka FC's 0-0 draw with Orlando Pirates when defender Paseka Mako was knocked out accidentally by his goalkeeper Richard Ofori's knee.

The incident happened during an extended injury time of 11 additional minutes. This had come about because of a floodlight failure that occurred some 20 minutes earlier, which led to a slight delay.

Richard Ofori had come out to clear the ball with Pirates looking to press for the winner when he collided with Mako as he jostled to get to the ball while a Baroka FC player was about to pounce on it.
