I was very amazed looking at the distance of the referee (Janet Appiah) only to point to the spot. Even the assistant referee could not raise the flag for infringement from the position she stood to the 18-yard", he said.

"Just because the supporters wield for a penalty, she awarded it to our disadvantage". Bad officiating earned as a point, but we came into this game for a win."
