MTN FA Cup: Wa Rockets Attributes Defeat to Poor Officiating

Wa Rockets trainer, Joseph Fosu has attributed his side’s MTN FA Cup semi final defeat against Bechem United to bad officiating.


According to him, the Division One League side came into with the purpose of booking a spot in the final but we’re denied by the Referees.


Speaking to the media after the game, Fosu noted that his young team were denied two clear penalties during the first half of the game which affected their second half performance.


“We came to win and you saw that in the first half. We actually dominated, even though we were playing a Premier League side – the status was the same”,  he said.


“Everyone saw it clearly that the referee was not fair in the first half: we had two penalties, he denied us and as young players as my boys are, they became demoralised. So, in the second half, they knew the referee was against them. They lost concentration in the middle, our central defender got injured, and he ignored it, so, the boys saw that even if they scored a goal, he would disallow it,” Fosu added.


Bechem United are through to the final of the 2016 MTN FA Cup where they will beating second tier side Okwawu United.


The Nkawkaw based based side defeated Liberty Professionals 3-2 on penalties in the other Semi-final after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.
