The Week 35 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match between Rangers and Enyimba at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium ended in turmoil following a highly contentious penalty decision.
The game, crucial for the league title race with Rangers atop the standings and Enyimba close behind, was abandoned in stoppage time after the referee awarded Rangers a penalty seven minutes into added time. This decision led to immediate and vehement protests from Enyimba players.
The situation escalated further when fans invaded the pitch, forcing the Enyimba team to walk off.
The chaotic scene made it impossible to resume the match, leading to its abandonment. Currently, there has been no official statement from the NPFL regarding the incident. This outcome leaves the title race in a state of uncertainty, adding further tension to the final weeks of the season.
