FUNNY::: Nigerian soccer teams suspended over 79-0 and 67-0 scorelines

Level on points going into their final promotion play-off matches, two teams needed a win with a good goal difference against each other. But when they reported goal tallies into the dozens, the authorities stepped in.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Tuesday called the results from the games in the northeastern city of Bauchi "a mind-boggling show of shame."

Looking to play with the professionals in Nationwide League Division 3, Nigeria's lowest professional league, the amateur side Plateau United Feeders were 7-0 up at half time against Akurba FC in their final competition match on Monday.

In the second half, Plateau United Feeders reportedly scored a further 72 goals. That equates to a goal every 40 seconds for a continuous 45 minutes.
