Legon Cities FC coach unhappy with penalty decision in draw with Great Olympics

Published on: 15 February 2020

Legon Cities FC coach Goran Barjaktarevic took exception to several refereeing decisions after his side failed to beat Great Olympics on match day 10 of the Ghana Premier League on Friday.

Pedro Yakubu Mohammed opened the scoring against Great Olympics in the 20th minute at the Accra Sports stadium, but the home side failed to capitalise as Ibrahim Sulley earned the Oly Dade lads a point in first-half stoppage-time.

In the 88th minute of the game, referee Rustum Senorgbe made a controversial call after Legon Cities' Jabila Abdul Karim was brought down in the penalty box by goalkeeper Ernest Sowah but he waved off their shout as the match ended 1-1.

"I only asked the referee how he saw the penalty decision and he explained to me. No problem. It's part of the game. We will move on. I'm just disappointed we didn't score and win the game," he said in his post-match interview.
