Their wins were definitely big: 79-0 and 67-0.
The results have sparked outrage, an indefinite suspension of the four clubsinvolved in the games, and an investigation into match-fixing by the Nigeria FootballFederation.
The NFF overnight called theresults from the tournament on Monday in the northeastern city of Bauchi"a mind-boggling show of shame". The scorelines were"scandalous", the NFF added.
"The teams involved, their players and officials, match officials, (tournament) coordinator and anyone found to have played some role in this despicable matterwould (will) be severely dealtwith," NFF director of competitions Mohammed Sanusi said.
Chasing a place in Nationwide League Division 3, Nigeria's lowest professional league, Plateau United Feeders reportedly scored 72 of their mountain of goals against Akurba FC in the second half. A rate of more than a goal a minute. Infact, a goal about every 40 seconds. Non-stop for 45 minutes.
At the same time, Police Machine reportedly swept 61goals past Babayaro FC in the second half after leadingby a relatively modest 6-0 at halftime.
Surely no team can be that good? Or that bad?
In theory, Plateau United Feeders won promotion to the big leagues having scored 81 goals - in three games. Police Machine ultimately could manage only 69.
Plateau and Police won their opening games 2-0, then drew 0-0 when they met in the second round, meaning goals would be the decisive factor for promotion to the big time if both won their final games.
They got the goals they wanted, and a suspension and a match-fixing investigation.
