Sierra Leone FA investigate 95-0 and 91-1 wins: what is football's biggest ever scoreline?

The Sierra Leone Football Association (SLFA) is launching an investigation over two matches that remarkably featured 187 goals. Yes, that’s right, two games with 187 goals.

On Sunday, two second-tier matches in the west African country saw Kahunla Rangers secure a mind-blowing 95-0 triumph over Lumbebu United, while Gulf FC annihilated Koquima Lebanon in a 91-1 win.

Both matches have now been annulled due to suspicions of match manipulation.

SLFA president Thomas Daddy Brima told BBC Africa: “We can’t stand by and see an embarrassing situation like this go unpunished. We’re going to launch an immediate investigation and bring to book all those responsible for this mediocrity.

“All those found guilty will be dealt with in accordance with the SLFA laws, and will also be handed over to the country’s anti-corruption commission.”
