Bernard Mensah, a Ghanaian midfielder currently playing in the Saudi Pro League, expressed his dissatisfaction after his lovely strike was controversially disallowed by VAR during Al-Tai’s recent match against Al Raed.
The highly-rated midfielder started for his team in the Week 14 game of the ongoing league campaign.
Following a poor start to the game by Al Tai, Al Raed took control of the game and scored in the 12th minute through Júlio Tavares.
Later in the 27th minute, the visitors scored again when Yahya Sunbul got his name on the scoresheet.
Despite the setback, Al Tai remained confident and fought to pull one back before the break.
Star midfielder Bernard Mensah converted a spot-kick in the 42nd minute to give the team a fighting chance in the second half.
Building on that spirit after recess, Bernard Mensah scored his second goal in the 90th minute before assisting another goal in injury time to ensure Al Tai won the game 4-3 in dramatic fashion.
After the game, the midfielder took to X to react: “Until now, I wonder why the referee cancelled the goal? I swear to God, it was a trivial arbitration but thank God for the victory,” he tweeted.
Bernard Mensah has scored eight goals in the Saudi Pro League this season.
