Hearts of Oak head coach Samuel Boadu has called for the introduction of Goal Line Technology in the Ghana Premier League after the Phobians were denied a goal against Great Olympics in the Accra derby on Sunday.
Hearts of Oak forward Isaac Mensah effort from 25 yards hit the crossbar and came off the line after television replays which indicated it was a goal.
However officiating officials were unable to award the goal to Hearts of Oak leading to a 1-1 draw with with city rivals Accra Great Olympics Sunday night.
Television replays showed the ball had crossed the line and Hearts of Oak should have been awarded a goal.
After the game, Boadu was left displeased with the decision and asked for Goal Line Technology to be introduced to curb such events.
“We scored and the linesman disallowed Isaac Mensah’s goal. I think it’s a clear goal because the ball crossed the line,” he said.
“If that goal should have been awarded, we would have done better than this.
“If we can get Goal Line Technology, it will help [the referees].”
Emmanuel Nettey put Hearts of Oak ahead in the second half with a fabulous long-range drive before Maxwell Abbey Quaye pulled level for Olympics with a header.
The two points dropped means the Phobians still top the league table, but only on goal difference ahead of rivals Asante Kotoko with Great Olympics 4th, only 5 points behind the two clubs.
