  • Ghanaian referee Kenney Padi has revealed that he is experiencing sexual problems since he officiated the game between Hearts and Kotoko
  • The referee awarded a controversial penalty as Asante Kotoko defeated Hearts of Oak 1-0 in Kumasi a fortnight ago
  • Asante Kotoko lead the Ghana Premier League table and are on course to wrestling the title back from Hearts of Oak

Kenney Padi, the referee banned for awarding a 'dubious' penalty to Kumasi Asante Kotoko in their game against Hearts of Oak, has disclosed that he has not been able to have sex since officiating that match.

The referee awarded Asante Kotoko a 15th minute penalty after adjudging midfielder Abdul Aziz Nurudeen for fouling Brazilian Fabio Gama.

Kotoko's Cameroonian forward Frank Mbella Etouga converted to hand the Porcupine Warriors all three points, but in an interview with Ewiase FM Kenney Padi revealed he is suffering and has been having nightmares.

“I have lost my sexual drive since the day I awarded the penalty against Hearts of Oak," he said as quoted by Ghanasoccernet.
“Sometimes I get strange and horrific nightmares, I can’t sleep," he added.

Kenney Padi has been banned for the rest of the season after the Ghana Football Association's match review panel found the penalty as dubious.

Referee Kenney Padi slapped with heavy suspension

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that referee Kenny Padi, the referee who handled the second installment of Ghana's version of the El Classico between Hearts and Kotoko at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, has been suspended for the rest of the season.

The centre referee was slapped with the heavy punishment on the back of a contentious penalty he awarded to Asante Kotoko which resulted in the only goal of the Super Clash on April 10.

The punishment means Kenny Padi will not be eligible to officiate any Ghana Football Association-organized match for the remainder of the season.

Afriyie Barnieh scores brace as Hearts beat Accra Lions

Daniel Afriyie Barnieh scored a brace as Hearts of Oak ended their two-game winless run in the Ghana Premier League to secure a vital 3-0 away triumph over 10-man Accra Lions.

The Ghana U-20 captained opened the scoring for the Phobians in the 11th minute, before substitute Isaac Agyenim Boateng added a second with a witty finish in the 55th minute.

Barnieh registered his brace when he headed in an expertly delivered corner kick from substitute Sulley Ali Muntari in the 89th minute.
