A match fixing Scandal

Back in 2013, one of the most outrageous match-fixing scandals happened in the Nigerian second division. Plateau United Feeders defeated Akurba FC 79-0 while Police Machine defeated Bubayaro FC 67-0.

Plateau United Feeders and Police Machine were in competition over who would gain promotion to the Professional League, as they were both level on goals going into their respective games.

At half-time, Plateau United Feeders were leading 7-0 while their promotion rivals Police Machine were leading 6-0.

Apparently, both clubs went into the break to discover that the other was doing well, so they didn't want to take chances in the second half.

Plateau United Feeders scored 72 more goals in the second half to bring the score line to 79-0, while Police Machine scored 61 more goals to bring the score line to 67-0.

Some of the spectators who attended the two matches reported incidents including questionable refereeing decisions, inexplicable added time and club officials rather than ball boys returning balls into play immediately after goals had been scored.

The Nigerian Football Federation banned all the four teams involved, as well as the match officials who participated in the match-fixing scandal.

Corruption don tay 4 Nigeria wey wey. Even sport is not spare.
