Liberty Professionals gaffer Reginald Asante has blasted center referee Emmanuel Ansah for his side’s lone goal defeat to Dreams FC at the Sogakope Park on Thursday afternoon.

A 28th minute stunner from Zuberu Sharani was all the visitors needed to further deepen the woes of the Dansoman lads who continue to sink deeper on the league log.

Then game produced one of the scintillating performances from both sides but the home side struggled to find their feet when it comes to goal scoring.

And Asante believes that the match official decided the score line of the game and wants the Referees Review Committee to deal with Ansah.

Asante believes that his sides call for a penalty in the dying embers of the game was legitimate but the referee ignored it, but several reverse angles on television showed the Liberty player was fouled outside the box.

“It was a fantastic game but I’m disappointed in the referee. You all saw how he denied us a clean penalty and also took some infringements against us to frustrate my boys.

“It was a game we shouldn’t have lost but the referee determined the score line.

The defeat means Liberty Professionals remain second from the bottom with a game in hand while Dreams FC move four places up to share the top spot with AshGold and Karela FC on 14 points each.
