Ghana Coach Slams VAR After Controversial Penalty Decision in Draw Against England
Ghana manager fumes over officiating, claiming VAR ‘went for a coffee’ during key penalty call
Ghana manager fumes over officiating, claiming VAR ‘went for a coffee’ during key penalty call
The final score was not reported at press time, but the major talking point from the match between Ghana and England was a controversial penalty decision that left Ghana’s manager furious. The match, played at an unspecified venue and date according to available information, ended in a draw, but the absence of a crucial VAR intervention dominated post-match discussion.
Reports indicate that during a critical moment in the game, England were awarded a penalty that sparked outrage from the Ghanaian bench. Ghana’s manager publicly criticised the officiating crew, sarcastically saying that ‘VAR went for a coffee’ when his team needed the technology most. No further details on who scored or at what minute the incident occurred were provided in available reports.
For Super Eagles fans watching continental rivals Ghana, the controversy serves as another reminder of how officiating decisions can swing big international fixtures. With AFCON qualifiers and World Cup campaigns often decided by fine margins, such moments put added pressure on CAF and FIFA to improve refereeing standards across African matches.
Neither the Super Eagles coaching staff nor representatives from the Ghana Football Federation had issued statements at press time. Only Ghana’s unnamed manager’s outburst was documented in reaction to the incident; no quotes from England’s camp or match officials were available.
Ghana’s next fixture details were not included in current reports. Fans will be hoping for clearer officiating and less drama as both teams look ahead to their upcoming international commitments.
