Two matches in Siera Leone's second-tier league ended with outrageous score lines of 95-0 and 91-1.
Kahuna Rangers and Gulf FC handed Lumbebu United and Koquima Lebanon defeats of 95-0 and 91-1 respectively. In the 95-0, the score line at the end of the first half was 2-0 while the other was 7-1.
According to the organization's president, Thomas Daddy Brima, it was embarrassing to see such a situation and those that will be found guilty of match-fixing will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

“We can't stand by and see an embarrassing situation like this go unpunished.
“We're going to launch an immediate investigation and bring to book all those responsible for this mediocrity.
“All those found guilty will be dealt with in accordance with the SLFA laws, and will also be handed over to the country's Anti-Corruption Commission," he stated.
Through his social media platform, Kahunla Rangers Chief Executive Officer, Eric Kaitell, condemned the actions of their opponents.
“I want to start by apologizing to the football fans in the country and the world at large for the odd match result of my club Kahunla Rangers.
“I want to state firmly that I strongly condemn such unsportsmanlike behavior displayed by my team, and the other teams involved.
"I’m setting up a Committee to investigate the whole team including technical staff and the executive members. Whosoever is found wanting will be dealt with accordingly,” Kaietell noted.
Lumbebu’s General Manager, Mohamed Jan Saeid Jalloh, noted that he was not aware of any manipulation from his side despite the heavy loss.
“We conceded lots of goals in the second half. I was frustrated and at some point even left the touchline in anger. I wasn't concentrating afterward, so I can't even tell how many goals we conceded in all.
“I'll never be part of match-fixing.
“I'm calling on the football authorities to investigate both matches and bring to book anyone found wanting. And if nobody is found guilty of any crime then so be it,” Saeid Jalloh pointed out.
