Referee Justice Addo Poku caused our defeat - WAFA captain Mohammed Alhassan

Captain of WAFA, Mohammed Alhassan has attributed his club’s defeat against Wa All Stars to centreman Justice Addo Poku.

The game ended 1-1 after ninety-minutes after David Abagna Sandan had cancelled out a first-half goal by Umar Bashiru through the spot.

According to him, the knight of the whistle clearly told him during the game that he will be doing everything possible to award Wa All Stars get all the three points.

Speaking to the press after the game, the centre back emphasized that the officiating in the first half was okay but the attitude of the referee changed in the second as he decided to favour the home side.

“The first half was okay. In the second half, the referee wanted to intimidate us. For the penalty, it was obviously not a penalty but the referee decided to award it.

“Me in particularly as the captain, the referee openly told me he will be giving the three points to Wa All Stars,” he added.

However, the Chief Executive of Wa All Stars, Oduro Nyarko has insisted Mohammed Alhassan's comment should be treated with contempt.

"How on earth will any referee in his right senses say that if really that was his intentions.

"The player speaking is too young to be saying such things, he was a kid when I started football maybe his mother hadn't even given birth to him and so should not start a fight he can't finish.

"WA All Stars is not interested in help from any referee, we have no hand in that if that's what he suspects," he added.
