Asante Kotoko complain over 'no penalty' incident in defeat to Dreams FC

Published on: 13 February 2023

Ghanaian giants, Asante Kotoko officially took to social media on Sunday night to cry over a penalty kick that was not given during the clash against Dreams FC.

The Porcupine Warriors club on Sunday afternoon locked horns with the team from Dawu in Week 17 of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season.

In the added time of the first half, Asante Kotoko midfielder Rashid Nortey was crushed to the ground in the 18-yard box of Dreams.

While players of Asante Kotoko would shout for a penalty kick, the Dreams FC defenders claimed innocence.

The verdict from the centre referee was that there was no offense in the tackle as he signaled play on.

After losing 2-0 to Dreams FC, Asante Kotoko captured the incident on video and shared on Twitter with the caption, “How is this not a penaltyyyyy !!!”

It is unclear whether the club would file a protest against the match officials or not.
