Kotoko deputy coach Orlando Wellington calls for fair officiating in the Ghana Premier League

Orlando Wellington, the assistant trainer of Asante Kotoko, has called for fair officiating in the Ghana Premier League following his team’s defeat to Hearts of Oak. The biggest fixture of the Ghana Premier League, the Super Clash, took place on Sunday afternoon, with the Phobians securing the win on their home turf.

In addition to the three points and bragging rights, Hearts of Oak won the President Cup title for the second year in a row with a 1-0 victory over the Porcupine Warriors. Konadu Yiadom’s goal in the 57th minute sealed the win for the rainbow boys.

During the post-match conference, Wellington claimed that his team was denied a clear goal and therefore called for fair officiating in the top-flight league.

“Referees have their part to play, players have their own part to play but as a referee, you have to be fair at the center” he said.

“Hearts of Oak scored an offside goal and the referee denied us a clear penalty”

Despite the defeat, Asante Kotoko are ahead of Hearts of Oak on the Ghana Premier League table but tied on 31 points with Hearts of Oak who are 5th on the log.
