Black Stars Coach Otto Addo feels Portugal were gifted a penalty on Thursday in Ghana’s 3-2 loss at the 974 stadium in Doha.

Cristiano Ronaldo converted a controversial second half penalty in Portugal’s 3-2 thrilling win over the Black Stars. He thus became the first player to score at five consecutive World Cups.

The 47-year-old gaffer, in a post-match presser, tagged Ronaldo’s record-breaking goal as a special gift from the Referee’.

”I think you would have to ask the referee; I have no proof for that, whether he would have decided differently for someone else to play the penalty”

”But we were playing the ball and there was a contact of players. I don’t know what they were doing, I don’t know whether they were not paying attention, I don’t know whether the VAR was not paying attention. If I look at that moment, its just incredible. If you look at the replay, we were playing the ball and it was actually a foul against them, not us’‘ Addo said.

On Ghana’s chances of making the next round; the Borussia Dortmund trainer insists his side stands a good chance of beating South Korea and Uruguay to claim a slot in the next round of the 2022 FIFA World cup.

”First of all, surely, we have a chance especially because they played a draw so if we win against South Korea and Portugal win hopefully against Uruguay then we will be second so the chance is still big. And surely it will be very, very tough to beat South Korea because they are good.

”But now we have to win. We are under pressure but they too” He concluded.

The Black Stars will face South Korea in a dicey clash on Monday in a do or die affairs.
