#4 Penalty to South Africa vs Senegal (2016)
Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey was at the centre of controversy when South Africa faced Senegal in a 2018 World Cup qualifier. This November 2016 tie saw Lamptey award a dubious penalty to South Africa after he adjudged centre back Kalidou Koulibaly of handling the ball in the box.
Trending
Video replays showed clearly that the ball hit Koulibaly on his thigh with Lamptey pointing to the spot. Thulani Hlatshwayo converted the penalty as South Africa won 2-1. This decision was so controversial that FIFA banned Lamptey for life after a review was done and found him guilty of match-fixing. Additionally, FIFA ordered a replay of the match that was played on November 2017.
