Football bosses are investigating match-fixing claims after two matches finished 91-1 and 95-0.

The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) has launched a probe into the two first division games, describing them as "impractical results". The West African country’s soccer governing body said it was investigating officials and players who were involved in the two fixtures, in which Gulf FC defeated Koquima Lebanon 91-1 and Lumbenbu United were beaten 95-0 by Kahula Rangers.

‌

The SLFA said it had zero tolerance for match-fixing. It said in a statement: "The following are of interest - the Eastern Region Football Association, all officials designated to officiate both matches, the players of Gulf FC, Koquima Lebanon, Kahula Rangers and Lumbenbu United."

"In compliance with FIFA and CAF rules against match manipulation or anything of sort, SLFA maintains zero tolerance.

The general public is therefore assured that the said matter will be thoroughly investigated and anyone found culpable will face the full force of the law."

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 with which they disagreed.
