The GFA Referees Committee has cleared Latif Adaari in respect of the Ghana Premier League match between Hearts of Oak and AshantiGold at the Accra Stadium.
In a complaint to the GFA, Accra Hearts of Oak claim they should have been awarded a penalty in the early minutes of the match-day 8 fixture.
The club’s request for a review claimed AshantiGold goalkeeper [Frank Boateng] held their attacker [Daniel Afriyie Barnieh] in the penalty box and deserved a penalty.
The Committee found that referee Latif Adaari had made no clear and obvious error in not awarding a penalty because there was no significant contact from the AshantiGold goalkeeper to merit one neither did he deny the Hearts attacker an obvious goal-scoring opportunity as Hearts claimed.
Referee Adaari is therefore cleared of the complaints from Hearts of Oak.
