“It is a legitimate penalty. The defender made his body bigger. He had expanded himself. For me, what I saw there was a legitimate penalty call by the referee,”  he said.

Goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim dived to his right to save Alhaji Mustapha’s kick but the assistant referee flagged him for moving off the line before the ball was kicked. The Kotoko players, led by Danlad, staged a strong protest leading to a red card being flashed to Ibrahim Imoro for harassing the assistant referee.

“At the time of the kick, if both legs are off the line the kick must be retaken. In the case of Danlad, both legs were off the line. In the case of the penalty against Elmina Sharks, the goalkeeper had one leg on the line before the kick was taken,” he added.
