He also praised the performance of the linesmen and added that the referee has got the most difficult job on the field.
In a game played at the Accra Sports Stadium, the home team took the lead after 20 minutes having played some entertaining and free-flowing football.
Youngster Bassit Seidu was presented with a very good chance and made no mistake as he scored to give his team the lead.
