David Duncan, head coach of Kumasi Asante Kotoko has blamed centre referee for his side’s two-all against Medeama SC on Sunday on Match Week Three of the Ghana Premier League.
Goals from Bennett Ofori and Michael Yeboah were cancelled by Malik Akowuah and Bismarck Oppong to earn the Mauve and Yellows a point.
And the former Great Olympics boss believes poor decisions against them influenced the result.
“I thought right from the beginning, the way officiating was going really unsettled us,” the former Hearts of Oak boss said after the game.
“We didn’t know what intentions the middle man had coming into the game. Quite a number of free-kicks in threatening positions were awarded Medeama out of which they got one goal.
“So in situations like this you really do not know what to tell your players: whether to take it easy or play above more than 100%.
“But I thought goals that could have been prevented were what we conceded; we also had fortuitous goals.”
David Duncan was however satisfied with a point because he believes it was a fair reflection of the game apart from the referee’s blunders.
“At the end of the day, two-all for me is a fair reflection of the game apart from the initial error officiating from the centre referee.”
Initial center referee Prosper Adii was replaced by Emmanuel Ansah (fourth official) in the second half after he alleged that he was threatened during recess.
