SIERRA LEONE F.A. TO INVESTIGATE 91-1 AND 95-0 SCORELINES IN LEAGUE MATCHES
The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) has opened an investigation into two first division games that had final scores of 95-0 and 91-1, respectively, describing them as impractical results.
The football governing body of the West African nation stated it was investigating officials and players in the two matches, in which Lumbenbu United lost 95-0 to Kahula Rangers and Gulf FC defeated Koquima Lebanon 91-1.
The SLFA said it had zero tolerance for match manipulation or anything of the sort.
“The general public is therefore assured that the said matter will be thoroughly investigated and anyone found culpable will face the full force of the law,” it said in a statement.
If confirmed, the two scorelines would rank among the highest recorded in football history.
The highest is thought to have occurred in Madagascar in 2002 when AS Adema beat SO l’Emyrne 149-0. The SO l’Emyrne players intentionally scored one own goal after another in protest over refereeing decisions with which they disagreed.
