Huge scores

Lets not get all carried away Bale. It's 140+ goals in 180 mins. Less than a goal a minute

146 goals, 6 in the first half..

Ok, that makes it sound dodgy

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. In fact, a goal about every 40 seconds. Non-stop for 45 minutes.

At the same time, Police Machine reportedly swept 61 goals past Babayaro FC in the second half after leading by a relatively modest 6-0 at halftime.

So who got promoted? Did it come down to goal diff?

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.

I'd love to have seen the Nigerian equivalent of Soccer Saturday for that. Kammy would have exploded.

Rage against the police machine for bottling it!

Brilliant.

this is the future for football... more goals

what a game(s) to have been at.... it must have been hilarious to watch. I feel for the GK whose back is now in traction after picking the ball out the net that many times...
