Belgian trainer Hugo Broos has blasted Senegalese referee Ndiaye Maguette for rewarding Ghana a soft penalty to punish them.
Despite defeat, Hugo Broos thinks his side were better side but he insists the referee’s decision following Ghanaian defender Daniel Amartey’s incident to win a penalty for Ghanan is a wrong decision.
In a post match interview Coach Hugo accounted, “I congratulate Ghana but I congratulate my boys also because we played against a very aggressive opponent which the referee allowed,” Broos said after the game.
“I am very disappointed in the result but I’m proud of my players. But I have to say, the referee today allowed Ghana to be too aggressive.
“I have nothing against aggressive play but it has to be legal aggression.”
“I couldn’t see it. I just saw Daniel Amartey go down. He went down many times during the game, but I didn’t see the incident. But I saw my players were surprised.”
South Africa gained the same points with Ghana but the with goal difference the Black Stars have qualified for the final round of the qualifications.
