BYC President Konneh: We never gave any bribe to Kotoko players

President of Liberian football club Barrack Young Controllers(BYC),Professor Sekou Konneh has rubbished claims of bribery allegation n their CAF Champions League win over Asante Kotoko on  Sunday.

The Liberian club scored late to progress in the Champions League on the away goals rule having been beaten 2-1 in the first leg against the Ghanaian champions.

Rumours fast gaining grounds in Ghana however suggests that goalkeeper Abdoulaye Soulama was compromised with a bribe before the Sunday’s match in Monrovia.

Officials of the Liberian club are alleged to have handed a $3000 bribe to goalkeeper Soulama Abdoulaye to throw the game by conceding a cheeky goal.

But BYC President Professor Konneh has debunked these unsubstantiated claims – saying Kotoko lost the game fair and square.
