Hearts coach David Duncan has hailed the performance of referee Yakubu Nuhu Liman in their 1-1 draw against arch-rivals Kotoko.
The class one referee has come under fire from Kotoko fans especially who felt his performance was below par.
They have accused him of denying them a penalty after Hearts defender Robin Gnagneà seems to have handled the ball after falling onto the ground during a challenge with striker Kofi Nti Boakye.
That singular decision and others which they claim went in favour of Hearts denied them the potential win.
But the ex-Ashantigold trainer has heaped praise on the class one referee for his excellent performance.
ââ¬ÅThe referee was superb. I think he did very well and deserve commendation,â⬠Duncan said
ââ¬ÅThe margin of errors was virtually negligible and for Hearts and Kotoko match you will say he did extremely well.
ââ¬ÅThere were few calls which I thought were wrong but his total performance was good.ââ¬
Debutant Kobina Winful opened the scoring for Hearts with a sublime finish before Michael Helegbe headed home the equalizer in front of a packed crowd at the Accra sports stadium.
