The Black Stars last Sunday defeated the Bafana Bafana by a goal to nil to win Group G of the African qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

On the matchday, the hosts were awarded a penalty kick by referee Maguette Ndiaye after defender Daniel Amartey had been fouled in the 18-yard box.

Left disappointed after the match, SAFA has filed an official complaint to FIFA raising concern on "questionable decisions" by the officials of the day.
