Hearts of Oak striker Gilbert Fiamenyo has accused referee Yao Ametepey of disgracing all indigenes of the Volta Region with his performance.

Speaking to reporters after Hearts of Oak’s 0-1 loss to Ashanti Gold in Obuasi, Fiamenyo noted that he is ashamed to be known as an Ewe man because of what he described as biased officiating by Ametepey.

“I normally don’t talk about referees but this referee has made me ashamed to be an Ewe man. With such a match with both teams playing well and with a huge crowd, he was supposed to have given us good officiating. But he disgraced all indigenes of the Volta Region. He has spoiled our name as Ewes.”

Fiamenyo lashed out at Ametepey for having something against Hearts of Oak, adding that the official did something similar during the team’s 2-0 win at New Edubiase United.

“100%. He doesn’t like Hearts of Oak. I don’t know what Hearts of Oak has done to him. Even the Hearts of Oak fans were complaining about his performance. The powers that be should examine the clip. He did something similar when we played against New Edubiase United. We managed to win that game 2-0 despite taking a red card, so when I saw him here (in Obuasi) I was discouraged. He has really disgraced indigenes of the Volta region and made me ashamed to be an Ewe man.”
