Dreams FC coach Karim Zito unhappy with officiating after Hearts of Oak defeat

Published on: 03 February 2020

Dreams FC head coach Karim Zito has expressed his displeasure about the bad officiating in the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League due to its links with the Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Okraku.

The Still Believe lads suffered 1-0 defeat to the Phobians at the Theatre of Dreams Park in Dawu as they slip to 8th on the league table with 10 points.

Kofi Kordzi's lone strike in the 55th minute of the game gave Hearts the maximum points as they condemned Dreams to their third defeat of the season.

"Eric Gawu went ahead with the ball and the player pushed him. I saw a penalty. We are being punched by certain things."

"Because the FA chairman ( Kurt Okraku) was the director of the club. He is no more at the club. He came here as a spectator," he told the media after the game.

"They should leave us to play our football. I saw a penalty. This has been happening in many of our away games. The referees fear to give the decisions in our favor because they fear they will be accuse of helping the FA chairman’s club. Please they should allow us to play our football. Kurt is no more with us."

Coach Zito also revealed that his side failed to take their chances in the first half.

"Hearts of Oak is not a small club that you can say you will walk over them. They are big club. We played well. We didn’t take our chances in the first half. We could have score in the first but we wasted many chances," he added.

Dreams FC will make a trip to Dansoman to face Liberty Professionals in mid-week as they hope to return to winning ways.
