Asante Kotoko assistant coach Orlando Wellington calls for fair officiating in Ghana Premier League

Published on: 07 March 2023

Asante Kotoko assistant trainer Orlando Wellington has called for fair officiating in the Ghana Premier League after defeat to Hearts of Oak.

The Ghana Premier League's biggest fixture, the Super Clash, took place on Sunday afternoon, with the Phobians securing the bragging right on home turf.

Aside the bragging rights and three points, the Phobians clinched the President Cup title for the second time running after a 1-0 win over the Porcupine Warriors.

Konadu Yiadom’s strike in the 57th minute mark propelled the rainbow boys to victory.

At the post-match conference, Wellington asserted his side were denied a clear goal and has therefore called for fair officiating in the top-flight.

“Referees have their part to play, players have their own part to play but as a referee, you have to be fair at the center” he said.

“Hearts of Oak scored an offside goal and the referee denied us a clear penalty”

Despite the defeat, Asante Kotoko are ahead of Hearts of Oak on the Ghana Premier League table but tied on 31 points with Hearts of Oak who are 5th on the log.
