Sporting Lagos have hit out at the officiating that saw the
team lose a Nigeria National League, NNL, clash to Gateway United.
The game was overshadowed by controversial decisions made by
referee Adebayo Qudus.
Sporting’s Seun Akanji, appeared to score a perfectly legitimate
goal but Qudus disallowed it for offside. His assistant referee had run back
toward the centre circle to indicate a goal.
To further complicate the incident, Seun was then shown a
yellow card.
Minutes later, the striker found the net again but the
referee blew the whistle mid-play and handed him a second yellow card, which
automatically meant a sending off.
The assistant referee did not flag any of the two goals for
offside.
Gateway United equalized after they awarded a controversial
penalty and went on to win 2-1.
A Sporting Lagos board member, Fola Olatunji-David, wrote on
X: “People should be out of jobs — and some people in jail — for what is going
on in Nigerian football.”
