Fans Blast Richard Ofori After Ridiculous Own Goal in AmaZulu Draw With Kaizer Chiefs

• Ghanaian goalkeeper Richard Ofori is facing massive criticism on social media after another error
• The Black Stars shot-stopper scored an own goal as AmaZulu were held by Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday
• Ofori, who made a similar mistake during AFCON 2023, joined the South African club in September 2024

Black Stars goalkeeper Richard Ofori has been trending on social media after scoring a ridiculous own goal in the game between AmaZulu and Kaizer Chiefs in the South African league.

The Ghana international erroneously parried the ball into his own net, reminiscent of the corner kick he conceded during the Africa Cup of Nations against Mozambique.

The error earned Kaizer Chiefs a point at the famous FNB Stadium.

Fans took to social media to criticise the Ghanaian shot-stopper for his mistake as AmaZulu let their lead slip three minutes after Elmo Kambindo had scored.

The extraordinary own goal will grab the headlines, but the whole clip is just a flabbergasting display of declined athleticism for Richard Ofori. A shame, because at his peak he was a very capable goalkeeper, but an absolute shadow of himself now. Slow, not explosive, lost

Gyan defends Richard Ofori

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has expressed disappointment after a video of goalkeeper Richard Ofori's AFCON error was shared on social media.

The Black Stars goalkeeper's mistake cost Ghana as the former African champions exited the tournament in Ivory Coast last year.

The moment shared on X, marked exactly a year the Black Stars drew 2-2 with Mozambique at the Stade Ebimpe in Abidjan.
