The game ended 1-1 at Dun's Park, with the home team securing a point thanks to a questionable penalty.

In the Kotoko box, a throw-in to Bibiani looked to hit the arm of a Gold Stars player.

However, the referee, Franklyn Akumatey, pointed to the spot and awarded a penalty to Kotoko, whose astonished players promptly approached the referee to express their displeasure.

The GFA announced in a statement on Wednesday that the game will be assessed by the Match Review Panel.

While sanctions against officials who erred in matches in past seasons were disclosed, a decision was made not to publish them this season, even though the punishments were carried out.
