Hearts of Oak assistant coach Rahim Bashiru has raised concerns about the officiating of referee Foster Bastiours following his team's 2-0 loss to Medeama.
The Phobians suffered defeat in Tarkwa, conceding two goals in the second half scored by defender Kobina Amoah and midfielder Godfred Abban.
The defeat marked the club's third consecutive loss, and Bashiru has pointed fingers at the referee, alleging that Medeama bankroller Moses Armah entered the referees' changing room during halftime.
"Honestly, something strange happened which the Ghana FA must take a critical look at. How can a bankroller of a club go into the referees’ dressing room? You could see the referee changed completely in the second half," he remarked.
Although head coach Aboubakar Ouattara started with promising results, recent performances have piled pressure on him.
Looking ahead, Hearts of Oak are set to face Karela United next, aiming to break their losing streak.
"We will go back and do a lot of correction and ensure we don’t lose any game again. This is time we have to stand firm and work," Bashiru concluded.
