Chelsea boss Armah laments wrong penalty call suffered against Kotoko in Ghana Special Competition

Berekum Chelsea coach Randolf Armah believes referee Desmond Abbey's decision to award Asante Kotoko a penalty in Wednesday's Ghana Special Competition Clash was totally wrong.

Chasing the game after Emmanuel Gyamfi gave the hosts a 51st-minute lead, the Blues suffered another setback when Abbey pointed to the spot on the ground of a foul on Obed Owusu by Gideon Ahinkorah.

Leading scorer Abdul Fatawu Safiu stepped up and coolly converted a 69th-minute 'panenka' to make it 2-0 in the Zone A matchday seven fixture at Kumasi's Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
