James Kwesi Appiah accused Baldomero Toledo of using profanity against one of his players and also questioned the wisdom of assigning him to the match
HOUSTON — Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah was frustrated after his side's 1-0 defeat to Mexico in a friendly Wednesday, but it wasn't the result that seemed to bother him most.
The coach accused referee Baldomero Toledo of using profanity toward one of his players and also questioned why organizers assigned a Mexican-American official to oversee a game involving the Mexican national team.
“Talking about the referee, I was really, really shocked that in a game like this they would allow a Mexican to be the center ref when we were playing (against) Mexico," Kwesi Appiah said in his post-match news conference.
