Not Exactly Your Low-Scoring Soccer Match
Well, I suppose this WOULD be an improvement over your usual 0-0 snoozefest, eh??
ANTANANARIVO (Reuters) - Newly-crowned Madagascan champions AS Adema thrashed their opponents 149-0 in a top national league soccer match after the opposition deliberately scored one own goal after another in a protest over a refereeing decision.
Radio Madagascar reported Friday that Stade Olympique l'Emyrne scored the own goals against Adema as a protest after SOE's coach Ratsimandresy RaCzarazaka lost his temper with the referee.
Spectators told the radio that following the row Thursday between RaCzarazaka and the referee at Adema's home ground in the port of Toamasina, SOE repeatedly kicked the ball toward their own goal after each kickoff and scored 149 own goals in the process.
Adema's players reportedly stood around looking bemused, doing nothing to stop the opposition from self-destructing.
Someone actually kept score?? Damn....
