“Stay away from our penalties” - actress tells Asamoah Gyan

Gyan elected himself to take Ghana’s penalty in Saturday's international friendly game with the USA after Frank Acheampong was pulled down inside the box.

Unfortunately, Asamoah Gyan missed and has since been bashed by some Ghanaians on social media.

Afia Schwarzenegger wasn’t left out of the league.

In an Instagram post on Monday (July 3), Afia lambasted Asamoah Gyan for breaking his promise and asked him to stay away from penalty kicks for the Black Stars.

Asamoah Gyan announced not to take penalty kicks for the Black Stars back in November 2012 as a pledge to his late mother.

This was after he missed a crucial penalty in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations semi-final defeat to eventual winners Zambia.

His last-minute penalty miss against Uruguay denied Ghana a historic 2010 FIFA World Cup semi-final berth.
