The 39-year-old Moroccan referee, who officiated at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, dished out two red cards and also sent off Oktay and his Petro counterpart Robeto Bianchi. Gor duo of Ernest Wendo and left back Shaffik Batambuze also saw red, while captain Harun Shakava and goalkeeper Fredrick Odhiambo were each slapped with yellow cards. “In Algeria for example, Hussein Dey’s goal didn’t cross the line but the referee ruled it then we scored and he disallowed. I have realised that in Africa, when you play away games, there must be problems with officiating,” a frustrated Oktay added. He raised the same concerns after the 2-0 defeat away to Lobi Stars of Nigeria that saw them demoted to this second-tier interclub competition.
