SLFA opens probe into 2 Sierra Leone Premier games

The Sierra Leone Football Association SLFA has launched an investigation into two first division matches that finished with scorelines of 91 -- 1 and 95 -- 0, describing them as unpractical results.

The West African country's football governing body said it was looking into officials and players who were involved in the two games, in which Gulf FC defeated Koquima Lebanon 91 -- 1 and Lumbenbu United 95 -- 0 by Kahula Rangers.

The SLFA said it had zero tolerance for match manipulation or anything of the sort.

The general public will be assured that the matter will be thoroughly investigated and anyone found guilty of it 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 that they disagreed with.
