Egyptian giants Al Ahly have reported Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey to the Confederation of African Football (Caf), claiming dubious officiating of their game against Esperance.

Lamptey made some controversial decisions during Sunday’s game semi final game in the African Champions League, which fuelled speculation that he deliberately favoured the Tunisian team.

Esperance’s goal came after just 50 seconds but was clearly punched into the net by their Nigerian striker Michael Eneramo, using his forearm to steer the ball goalward as he dived in at the back post.

But Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey surprisingly let it stand and Ahly’s frustration boiled over just 20 minutes later when Mohamed Barakat punched an opponent and was sent off.

“Lamptey was clearly biased and his deadly mistakes illegitimately gave Esperance a berth in the Champions League final,” Ahly said in statement.

Esperance will play TP Mazembe in the final

    Ahly shd give us a break! What do we think would ve happened if Ahly won the match? They are not used to losing, they shd just concede defeat honourably and stop blaming the referee….

    Plz give the man a break,infact even top notch officials make such mistake we all saw it b4 and during the WC.Typical is example is Thierry Henry’s controversial hand ball which handed France qualification to the global showpiece but what came out of that incident?Nothing!Absolutely nothing!Secondly Frank Lampards legal goal against Germany,Luiz Suarez Hand of the devil against our own B/S the list goes on and on and on again so you guys should give the man a fucking break.At least he has done well to reach that stage and i will commend him for that instead of criticizing,it takes a lot for a world class official to handle such top matches and this tells you the qualities that he has which other Ghanaian has officiated such matches over the last few yrs apart from this man?For a referee to have a UEFA license A certificate means a lot after all how many Ghanaians referees have went for that cause?Give the man a fucking break!

    Granted, it was a mistake on the part of the referee to let the goal stand but under the circumstances he was not in position to see the handball because he wasnt in the line of vision. The 1st Assistant would have come in handy, but he didnt see it too, neither did Ahly Players!! Was there any complaint by Ahly players? All these complaints are based on a Camera replay which was in an ANGLE that Lamptey would never have taken.

    In my opinion Lamptey there-after handled the game excellently especially with his level of calmness and strict calls. He is a young Referee with profound promise and should be encouraged instead!

    how come we can give this tosser a break…!!
    he is a blind …!!!
    i wish i could meet himn to beat him to death..!!
    did u watch another match other that the one we haave seen..??!@@!!!
    and @ gborzmita :
    didn’t u notice the compaints of ahly olayer and the goal keeper and gomaa the bold guy…??!!
    or just becuz u just hate to watch Egypt wins anygame??!! ppl try to be NEUTRAL…!!!
    dont allow bad football and cheating control the game…!!

    who is blaming this referee? Why do you think we are clamouring for goal-line technology to assist referees? It seems ghanaians are fond of not appreciating what we have. Is it that we’re jealous to see our brother excelling? Even at the world cup, the so-called good referees make mistatkes which are more grievious than this. i am in agreement with all the assertions kwame tom has made above; they are legitimate points to make, if one has to do a proper assessment of referee Lamptey’s performance.

  6. Sofieneg says:

    No doubt this referee was corrupted. Ghana shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Mr. M says:

    It was so clear that this ref wanted the Tunisian side to win. The corner that led to the goal wasn’t even a corner! Everybody knows that. It was in first few seconds of the game. The game was full of refereeing blunders. ElAhly’s coach has all the right to accuse the ref of getting bribed.
    On a side note, the ref wore black in the first half to mishmash into Ahly’s dark blue before changing into yellow in the 2nd half.

  8. Nader conway says:

    This ref is a real joke!! shame on african football!!
