Kotoko officials clash with Legon Cities for preventing players from warming up (VIDEO)

Tensions were high as officials of Asante Kotoko clashed with Legon Cities officials for preventing some players from warming up in their outstanding Ghana Premier League fixture at the Legon Sports Stadium last night.

A Legon Cities official was pacing back and forth on the pitch during halftime without any particular reason. Later, two officials of the Accra-based club tried to prevent some Kotoko players from warming up.

The issue escalated after Kotoko officials attempted to intervene for their players to train freely.

The confusion deepened as both sides went head-to-head with the fans in the stands watching on. Security officials had to intervene in order to de-escalate the situation for the game to resume.

Police had to drag a Legon Cities official off the pitch for the second half to resume.

The entire spectacle lasted for about six minutes as reported by sports journalist Akosua Adjei.
