Bashir Hayford, coach of Heart of Lions, has provided insight into his decision to disrupt their Ghana Premier League match against Bechem United by sitting in the middle of the pitch.

During the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park in match week 28, Hayford caused a delay, prompting curiosity about his actions.

Hayford revealed that his unconventional protest was sparked by fans pouring urine on him, creating a hostile atmosphere akin to a war zone.

"They [fans] were pouring urine on me, they were spitting on me behind the bench," Hayford disclosed to Kessben FM.

He further explained, "They charged on the referee that our goal was offside, but it was because of the urine poured on me that’s why I went to the pitch with a chair."

Heart of Lions initially took the lead through Emmanuel Ofori Sakyi after nine minutes, but Bechem United equalised in first-half stoppage time through Francis Acquah.

Despite their efforts, Heart of Lions remains in the relegation zone with 29 points from 28 games, sitting three points away from safety.
