The Confederation of African football (CAF) has slapped a three-month ban on veteran Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey following his questionable performance in the recent Russia 2018 World Cup qualifier between South Africa and Senegal.<\/p>\n
The decision was released by CAF on Monday after video evidence showed that a cross struck\u00a0Kalidou Koulibaly in the knee and not his arm as believed by Lamptey. The referee went on to point to the spot leading South Africa\u2019s first goal on the day.<\/p>\n
