The incident which has since gone viral saw social media users questioning the maintenance culture and level of vigilance by the supervisors of the facility.

Ghanaian referee hit with tough punishment after awarding a dubious penalty

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.
