Accra:Aduana FC's late penalty against Swedru All Blacks has sparked intense debate among football fans following their Ghana Premier League clash at Nana Agyemang Badu Park.
According to Ghana Web, the match was tied at 1-1 when Aduana were awarded a penalty in the final minutes after the referee determined that a player had handled the ball inside the box. This decision provided Aduana with a crucial chance to stage a comeback after trailing early in the game.
Stephen Amankona capitalized on the opportunity, scoring from the penalty spot and securing a 2-1 victory for Aduana, completing his brace. However, the decision to award the penalty has become a major talking point from the Matchday Five encounter, with fans debating the legitimacy of the call.
Despite the controversy, the game showcased Aduana's resilience as they came from behind after William Danquah's early goal for All Blacks. Amankona equalized before halftime, and All Blacks faced further challenges when Zayat Bubakari received a second yellow card, reducing them to ten men.
The numerical advantage helped Aduana, although All Blacks remained competitive until the penalty decision. This victory marked Aduana's third consecutive win, moving them to fourth place with 10 points, while All Blacks stayed in 13th with five points.
