Dubious penalty gives Ghana edge over Amakhozi
A dubious penalty awarded by Senegalese referee Maguette Ndiaye in the 31st minute helped Ghana beat Bafana Bafana and secure passage to the playoff round of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers at Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Sunday night.
De Reuck was stunned when the overeager Ndiaye immediately pointed to the penalty spot, but the Senegalese match official was not done. It was a devastating blow for Bafana coach Hugo Broos’s brave charges after they competed bravely for months as they attempted to win Group G and give the nation a chance to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since the 2002 tournament.
The two sides have engaged in a tension-riddled see-saw battle for control of the group for months and Bafana had the advantage going into the final match of the group on Sunday night.
