According to Ghana Soccernet, the Match Review Panel of the Ghana Football Association announced punishments for five referees and two referee assistants this week.

The harshest punishment was handed to Musah Mubarik Paradavoa, who has been banned for eight matches, after he was believed to disallow a perfectly legal goal in the 89th minute of a clash between King Faisal and Medeama.
