Nations FC's head coach, Kasim Mingle, has no doubts about the legitimacy of the penalty awarded to his team by referee Abdul Latif Qadir in the thrilling Ashanti derby, which ended in a four-goal draw on Sunday.
Asante Kotoko fans believed their team was on the verge of a crucial comeback victory against their new regional rivals. Still, an injury-time penalty awarded to the home team changed the scoreline, resulting in a 2-2 draw at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex.
Mingle, the former Bechem United boss, expressed his confidence in the penalty decision, stating, "It was an obvious penalty, a clear penalty. Immediately it happened, I started shouting penalty; we had two here in the first half, this is obvious, so if you go and watch, you will see."
Ivorian playmaker Amidou Diarra successfully converted the spot kick in the 90+14th minute, sending goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad in the wrong direction.
