“I was confused” – Referee Kwasi Brobbey admits error over disallowed Kotoko goal against RTU

Assistant referee Kwasi Brobbey has admitted the decision to disallow Kotoko’s goal against Real Tamale United was “wrong.”

At 0-0 in the first half, the Porcupine Warriors scored a legitimate goal following an impressive display but was ruled out by Assistant Line One Kwasi Brobbey.

On the 19th minute, Lamptey who put up a man-of-the-match performance, gave up a perfect through pass that was cut back by Isaac Oppong, with Mukwala tapping in to score from close range, but Oppong was adjudged to be in an offside position by Brobbey.

However, replays showed the decision was an incorrect call.

After the game, Kwasi Brobbey, responding to a post on Facebook by StarTimes commentator Nana Darkwah Gyasi, admitted that the decision was wrong, noting that he got confused as a RTU defender blocked his view.

“The RTU player blocked my vision, and I didn’t see the time of the kick. Also, I didn’t see the defender behind the Kotoko attacker. At that moment, I was confused but needed to make a decision. Unfortunately, the decision I took was wrong, Nana Darkwa Gyasi,” he explained.

Kotoko won the game by a goal to nil, thanks to a late penalty nicely converted by Steven Mukwala.
