Referee Alpha Adey paused the match between Ebusua Dwarfs and Legon Cities at the Cape Coast stadium after being treated by home fans.
The referee felt unsafe and decided not to continue the match, Legon Cities reported on their official Twitter handle.
The centre referee, his assistants and the match commissioner refused to return to the field for the second half.
Referee Alpha Adey is refusing to continue the 2nd 45 minutes of our game against Ebusua Dwarfs after receiving all kinds of threats from fans and some 'officials'.Referee says he does not feel safe to continue. 2nd half delayed by over 25mins now...Sad.#Gpl.

Legon Cities took a 1-0 lead to the break and were determined to take the three points to move out of the relegation zone.
The incident is unfortunate, considering both teams observed a minute silence in memory of 126 fans who died exactly 20 years ago at the Accra Sports Stadium during the match between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
