Asante Kotoko assistant coach Orlando Wellington has called for fair officiating in the aftermath of his team’s loss to Hearts of Oak on Sunday.
The 1-0 defeat in the league match also meant that the Phobians secured the President’s Cup for the second consecutive year.
In his post-match comments, Wellington expressed his dissatisfaction with the officiating, as he believed that the referee, Jacob Aduntera, delivered a below-par performance which ultimately led to their defeat.
“Referees have their part to play, players have their own part to play but as a referee, you have to be fair at the centre,” he said.
“Hearts of Oak scored an offside goal and the referee denied us a clear penalty.”
Due to their inconsistent performances this season, the Porcupine Warriors are currently trailing by five points in the league and have been knocked out of the FA Cup.
With their only remaining chance of winning a trophy this season being the league, they will need to make significant improvements to be able to defend their title from last season.
