Referee Imoro Osman who officiated the Liberty Professionals and Asante Kotoko game has come under severe scrutiny as he has been partly blamed for influencing the final outcome of the game. The referee awarded a late-minute freekick just around the 18-yard box of Liberty Professionals and Asante Kotoko got the equalizer through the said freekick to draw the game. Though Hearts of Oak missed the penalty, the red card to Isaac Donkor affected Elmina Sharks as they lost 2-0 in the second half. However, the video footage from the Hearts of Oak game also captured Isaac Donkor clearing the ball from his goal post with the chest and not his hand. Referees should have another look at themselves ,but this shouldn't fuel theories of a scheme to get any of @HeartsOfOakGH or @AsanteKotoko_SC win the title this year.
