Is this the WORST penalty decision ever? South Africa are dumped out of World Cup qualifying after Ghana were awarded a spot kick despite minimal contact on Leicester's Daniel Amartey with Andrew Ayew converting

South Africa can feel a huge injustice after missing out on a place at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with their defeat against Ghana being sealed by a highly questionable penalty decision.

Bafana Bafana lost 1-0 against their rivals in African qualifying thanks to Andre Ayew's decisive spot kick, sealing their fate and forcing them to watch on when the tournament takes place next year.

But the decision from referee Ndiaye Maguette looks more and more dubious when looking back at the crucial incident where South Africa defender Rushine De Reuck was penalised for what appeared to be a minimal contract on Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey.
