Central African Republic coach Raoul Savoy has accused the referee of helping Ghana win their Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match on Thursday.
The match, which was played in Ghana, ended in a 2-1 draw. However, Savoy believes that the referee made several biased decisions that favored Ghana.
“The referee helped Ghana win the game,” Savoy said at the post-match press conference. “Your next AFCON will be like the last one.”Savoy’s comments have been met with mixed reactions. Some people believe that he is right to be upset, while others believe that he is simply making excuses for his team’s loss.
It is important to note that the referee has not yet commented on Savoy’s accusations.
However, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) is likely to investigate the matter.If CAF finds that the referee did indeed make biased decisions, it could take disciplinary action against him. This could include suspending him from future AFCON matches.
Savoy’s comments have also sparked a debate about the quality of refereeing in Africa. Some people believe that the standard of refereeing is too low, and that this is a major problem for the development of the game on the continent.Others believe that the standard of refereeing is improving, and that the occasional mistakes that are made should not be blown out of proportion.
