Hearts of Oak fans want rivals goalkeeper Abdoulaye Soulama punished for attacking the referee during Sunday's Glo Premier League fixture between Kotoko and Heart of Lions.

The 32-year-old Burkinabe glovesman rushed on referee Sumaila Ibrahim after the final whistle to question his decision to award Lions a last-gasp penalty which denied the champions victory at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Soulama's actions have drawn widespread criticism and Hearts supporters chief Alhaji Akambi wants the Ghana Football Association's disciplinery wing to punish the Kotoko keeper.

"This is not the first time he has put up this behaviour on the pitch so we Hearts fans want the GFA to punish him to deter other players from similar behaviours," he told Accra-based Happy FM.
