Berekum Chelsea were denied a controversial penalty in the game and also were stopped in a goal scoring attempt after the referee whistled for a foul against them.

Speaking after the game, coach Odwo expressed his disappointment in the decisions taken by referee Musah Mubarik.

According to him, his side were treated unfairly by the referee in the full glare of fans watching on TV.

“We all observed this match and I am surprised that in the presence of the camera the referee should act in this way. I mean should we be treated as if we are not part of Ghana or the league, it's obvious, we all saw it,” coach Odwo said.

He explained that the decisions taken by the referee obstructed his team's game plan in attack.

“Most of the decisions he made went very wrong and aside from that I think it was a good game for both sides. One of the factors that affect the game is the decision of the referees, when the referees do not allow you to do anything what can you do. He was deciding what should happen. It is obvious. If this game goes under review again you will see the errors he made on my side,” the coach said.

Berekum Chelsea are currently 9th on the league table with 39 points.
