Match Commissioner Kweku Eyiah has confirmed that the assistant referee was hit with an object from the stands in Hearts of Oak's 2-1 defeat to Hasaacas on Sunday .
The game played at the Accra Sports Stadium had to be put on hold over an extended period to allow for the injured assistant referee to be attended to by medics.
Hearts are however contesting reports that the missile that landed on the head of the assistant referee came from their supporters stand.
They even claim that no object was thrown at all and that the assistant referee might have suffered another form of injury.
But Match Commissioner Kweku Eyiah confirmed that the assistant referee was indeed struck by an unnamed object.
'When he was hit by an object he had to be sent into the referee's room,' Eyiah confirmed after the game.
'He had a cut but the cut wasn't deep but then he said he was feeling dizzy.
'So we delayed the game to see if he could continue but then he couldn't and therefore we had to replace him with the fourth referee.'
