Nigeria’s Ugly Match Fixing Game: Too clear to be ignored (VIDEO)

In the wake of football betting, team relegation, and greediness, match fixing has taken new dimensions but this Nigeria’s ugly match fixing game is too clear to be ignored.

How on earth can a player kick such a penalty? Just watch the suspected match-fixing penalty shoot-out in Nigeria that has shocked social media users.

This is not a miskick, you are seeing a penalty shoot captured live on camera.

This is nothing but an ugly and ridiculous match-fixing that must not go unpunished.

This strange penalty shootout was by a Remo Stars player who intentionally skied his penalty for throw-in.

The video has gone viral since it hit the internet via Twitter, raising suspicions of match-fixing.

The FA Cup final match was between Remo Stars and Ijebu United at the Ogun State FA Cup final.

The players who took the penalties deliberately kicked it anywhere they preferred after a stalemate during the regulation time.

In the bizarre video posted by @LFCinnigeri, a Remo stars player deliberately skied his kick from the spot directed sideways as the ball went out for a throw-in.

On Ijebu United’s turn, the Remo goalkeeper stood motionless as the ball rolled past him and into the net. He did not move an inch as the kick taker planted the ball in the net. This is a big disgrace to African football and Nigeria in particular for exhibiting the highest level of unprofessional misconduct.

Ijebu eventually won the FA Cup shootouts 3-0 and were crowned pathetically champions. Fans who couldn’t understand took to social media to vent their frustration, accusing both teams of playing a game of convenience.

The video amassed over 5 million views on Twitter.

A furious Aluko tweeted: “If this isn’t Match Fixing, then I don’t know what it is. Why is Nigerian football like this? Why don’t we ever want progress??”

“They could have done it without making it so obvious.”

There has been match-fixing in recent times in Ghana as well but this one from Nigeria is Nigeria’s ugly Match Fixing Game ever to have been played in this modern football era. It is a shame.
