Tema Youth, playing away to the West African Football Academy (WAFA), took the lead in Sogakope, before the home side fought back from a goal down to win the game 2-1.

The Academy boys benefited from a wrong call by the centre referee to complete the comeback against the Harbour boys.

Below is the decision by the GFA's Match Review Panel.

''The Committee after thoroughly watching the video clip concluded that the referee awarded a very bad penalty against Tema Youth FC.

''According to the Review Panel, he referee’s position on the field of play was such that he could not have seen clearly the infringement he claimed to have seen.
