Liberty Professionals trainer David Dickson Ocloo was unhappy with the manner in which his side lost their Ghana Premier League match week 9 tie away to Obuasi Ashanti Gold.

The Scientific Soccer Lads suffered their first away defeat of the season last Sunday, losing 1-0 to the Miners in a game marred by controversial refereeing decisions.

Ashgold midfielder Appiah McCarthy scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot on the stroke of half time after Liberty defender Ernest Danso handled the ball in the area.

The Dansoman based side had two shouts for a penalty turned down by the referee leading to verbal altercations with the referee after the game.

Although Coach David Ocloo was tight-lipped on the performance of the referee in his post match interview, the young trainer attributed the defeat to 'external factors'.
