Shooting
Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan technical adviser, Fatai Amoo believes that the match officials
made questionable calls during his side’s 2-1 loss to FC Ifeanyi Ubah in the
match day 19 of the Nigeria Professional Football League on Wednesday in Nnewi.
FC Ifeanyi Ubah striker Godwin Obaje scored two second half penalties to cancel Sunday Faleye’s first half goal for the
Oluyole Warriors.
Amoo said he
was not surprised with the penalties given to FC Ifeanyi Ubah because the referees had already received
a threat to their lives at the interval.
“We have lost the game and there is nothing we
can do about it, but we must strive to develop the game. Everything surrounding
this game was an eyesore’’, Amoo said.
He added: “I
know we may not survive the game with threats on the referees at half time; so
the two penalties were not surprising. I can now know why the referees took
another 10 minutes to come out after recess. The first penalty was really not
clear to me but I can confirmed the second one was deserved.’’
