A latest replay of the penalty incident in the Ghana v South Africa match has proven that indeed Daniel Amartey was fouled.
During Sunday’s Group G decided between the Black Stars and the Bafana Bafana at the Cape Coast Stadium, the hosts won 1-0 courtesy of a penalty kick converted by skipper Andre Ayew.
Even before the match ended, social media was buzzing with complaints from South Africans that it was not a penalty.
SAFA in particular expressed concern over the legitimacy of both the decision and the display of the officiating team from Senegal, headed up by referee Maguette Ndiaye.
However, in the latest replay video of the incident, South Africa defender Rushine de Reuck is captured using both hands to bring down Ghana’s Daniel Martey, leading to the award of the penalty.
