He told us we will beat them and he told me he will score. He promised me he will score.” He told Angel TV Sports.
Jacob Partey gave a better understanding d how events unfolded before, during and after the game.
“When they started the game, I was in Odumasi with his mother. In the course of watching the game, it started raining and I tune into the radio, so when I heard the goal scored by my son, I jumped. I have pictures of that and I will share them later on another programme. Because I was listening to the radio, I heard the goal early and started jubilating.”
