The management of Accra Hearts of Oak have officially filed a protest with the Ghana Football Association over the performance of referee Joseph Kenney Padi in their 1-0 defeat to Asante Kotoko in a game week 24 Ghana Premier League encounter.
The Phobians are particularly enraged by the referee’s decision to award a penalty to the Porcupine Warriors, which was converted by Frank Etouga to give the league leaders all three points in Kumasi.
In a statement released on Tuesday, April 12, 2022, Hearts of Oak say they want the Match Review Committee to take a second look at the penalty, which they describe as ‘controversial’.
They also want the referee punished to ‘serve as deterrent’ to other referees who intend to ‘unprofessionally conduct’ themselves.
