The Oriental derby between Enugu Rangers International FC and Enyimba United of Aba ended in pandemonium.
This followed a late penalty call in favour of the Flying Antelopes in a Week 35 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) match of the electrifying and tension soaked game watched by over 20,000 fans.
The game was a title decider with Rangers topping the league standings (60 points) and Enyimba trailing them by two points.
Fans had trooped out en masse for the fiercely contested encounter and all was going well. However, with the game tied goalless, the referee pointed to the spot late in the game, awarding Rangers a penalty.
That decision did not go well with Enyimba players who protested the decision. While efforts were made to resume play, the game turned chaotic when some fans invaded the pitch, disrupting the highly-anticipated match.
An Enyimba defender pulled down a Rangers striker who was one on one with the goalkeeper.
“Rangers 0-0 Enyimba #RANENY #NPFL24 #TheFinalStretch,” the NPFL wrote on its X platform. “Match interrupted after penalty awarded to Rangers in added time.”
As of now, the league body has yet to make comments about the match and the next steps.
