The referee frustrated my players with cautions which I think Hearts equally committed the same offences but they weren&#8217;t punished,&#8221; Sakpari fumed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;From what I know is that as a referee you always have to carry the FIFA motto into every game you officiate, which is fair play, but we didn&#8217;t see that in the game. My boys were of the view that the referee was with Hearts of Oak and the moment that comes into your mind, your mind becomes divided.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s about time our officiating officials move away from this &#8220;two most glamorous clubs&#8221; thing and follow the rules because we&#8217;re all in the premiership. No team should be aided by officiating, it is very bad,&#8221; Sakpari concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Hearts are waiting for the winner of the other semifinal game between Asante Kotoko and Medeama SC in the final.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related_articles\" style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; font-size: 90%; background-color: #eeeaea; padding: 5px; width: 60%; margin-top: 10px;\">\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/96124592.jpg\" style=\"padding-right:2px;\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"border:0; padding:0;width:100%; vertical-align:middle; font-size:11px;\">Courtesy of <b>GHANAsoccernet.com<\/b> &#8211; Ghana&#8217;s leading football news website.
