Monday match
played at Bauchi Northeast Nigeria was nothing but a show of shame and mockery
of Nigeria football league. What seems most shameful is the great disparity
between first half goal difference and second half goal difference of the two
contending clubs. By the end of first half goal difference in the two matches
are:
Plateau United Feeders 7- 0 Akurba FC;
Machine 6 - 0 Babayaro FC
But at the
end of the match, the goal difference surge in an incredible and embarrassing
goal difference.
Plateau 79 - 0 Akurba FC ; Machine 67 -
0 Babayaro FC
In second
half alone Plateau United feeders scored 72 goals while Babayaro FC scored whooping
61 goals. Given this score line, Plateau scored every 50 seconds while Machine
scored at about every 59.02 seconds. Both Plateau and police Machine are amateur
sides chasing one spot in national league division 3. So whoever wins with the
greater goal difference would qualify. I wonder if this is just about qualifying
or there is more to it.
Perhaps,
they want to set a record that will beat all time Madagascar biggest
margin of victory in club football where AS Adema beat Stade Olymique L’Emyme
149-0 in 2002.
Thanks to
the Nigeria Football Federation who quickly responded by condemning the act and
suspending the four teams, officials and everyone who conspire to make it
happen. NFF promise to further sanction and punish offenders after
investigation into the suspected match fixing.
