Hearts of Oak have been charged by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for failing to control their supporters during Sunday’s Super Clash defeat to Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The decision follows chaotic scenes after referee Reginald Collins Amoah blew the final whistle in a match that ended 1-0 in favor of Kotoko.
Several Hearts players and fans confronted the referee over his key decisions, including a first-half penalty awarded to Kotoko and a late offside call that denied Mawuli Wayo what would have been an equalizer. Video footage showed angry supporters throwing objects onto the pitch as security personnel struggled to restore order.
The GFA cited breaches of Articles 16(2)(b) and 34(6)(d) of the Disciplinary Code and the Premier League Regulations, 2025. Hearts have until Tuesday, November 11, 2025, to respond to the charges.
If found guilty, Hearts of Oak could face sanctions, including fines, points deduction, or even a stadium ban. The club has a history of supporter-related incidents, and the GFA may take a tough stance to prevent future occurrences.
Kotoko’s victory was marred by the chaotic scenes, with some questioning the referee’s decisions. The win takes Kotoko to the top of the league table, but the focus now shifts to the aftermath of the match and the potential fallout for Hearts of Oak.
