• South Africans cry out over controversial penalty in defeat to Ghana
• Ghana book playoff spot after beating South Africa
South Africans on social media have complained bitterly over a questionable penalty that resulted in the Bafana Bafana's slim defeat to Ghana.
The Black Stars pipped South Africa 1-0 in the FIFA world cup qualifiers to progress to the third round at the expense of the latter.
Daniel Amartey won a questionable penalty in the first half which was perfectly converted by Andre Dede Ayew to secure the much-needed win for Ghana.
Senegalese referee, Maguette Ndiaye, awarded the penalty after Amartey was brought down by Rushine De Reuck in the box while defending a corner. The Leicester City defender seemly exaggerated his fall from a little contact.
Following the loss, South Africans with the hashtag #GHARSA have reacted with some claiming the match officials were bribed to favour Black Stars. Whereas others called for a replay.
User @Matlali tweeted "When the referee is honouring his end of the bargain #GHARSA bafana bafana"
@mosheyagami also tweeted "This Referee is against Bafana Bafana Broken...if this was EPL VaR was gonna say something."

2nd frame: the official gave a penalty
& then people wonder why African football isn't going anywhere????. I mean for games as crucial as this, VAR is needed. What the hell is Motsepe doing at those HQs.#GHARSA pic.twitter.com/5YDeVM7YA2

All Ghanaians residing in our country must pack their stinky cheating bags and leave our country to be with your Mr #Penalty referee at @CAF_Online head office #GHARSA

Read Full StoryMy problem isn't that we lost, but it's how we lost. referee will make a mistake in a match, but decisions that cost matches really need to be checked. With VAR that's no penalty. We don't even have VAR and that shows how far down we are as Africa
