Medeama SC capitalized on a controversial second-half penalty to sink relegation battling WAFA SC on match-day 26 of the 2021/22 Ghana Premier League (GPL).
The fixture at Akoon Community Park in Tarkwa travelled for well over an hour without a goal.
Then referee Philip Arthur Forson and his assistant played an important role to set the Mauve and Yellows on the way to victory with a strange penalty decision.
Arthur Forson had given Medeama a free-kick outside the WAFA penalty area.
But while the hosts were ready to effect it, he allowed the linesman to persuade him to give a penalty instead.
Regular taker, Vincent Atingah broke the deadlock in the 66th minute with the spot-kick which eventually sealed the victory.
