Ghana’s Kwadwo Asamoah, right, and Mubarak Wakaso celebrate after Wakaso scored against Mali in their African Cup of Nations Group B soccer match, at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghana influential midfielder Mubarak Wakaso is facing big trouble for showing a religious slogan on his T-shirt as he celebrated his goal at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spain-based midfielder Wakaso stepped up in place of Asamoah Gyan to bury a 38th-minute penalty and give Ghana a 1-0 win over Mali at the Group B match at the tournament in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Wakaso\u2019s celebration, when he pulled his team shirt over his face to reveal the words \u2018Allah is Great!\u2019 on a T-shirt underneath, could have more repercussions for Ghana.<\/p>\n

He got a yellow card immediately after the celebration \u00a0although it wasn\u2019t clear if it was for pulling off his shirt or for the message underneath.<\/p>\n

The caution was already his second of the group stage to leave him facing a one-match suspension.<\/p>\n

Either way, FIFA rules also don\u2019t allow players to display political or religious slogans on the field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
