Wild reaction as NPFL game ends after 30 mins extra time

Nigerian football fans have reacted to Katsina United's game against Remo Stars in the NPFL matchday 35 encounter.

CAF Champions League representatives, Remo Stars were denied a vital away point under bizarre circumstances after the home side scored the winner in the 34th minute of added time in an NPFL match played on Sunday, June 26.

The drama started when the Remo Stars completed their comeback from two first-half goals to draw level with the home team.

A video that has surfaced online shows the media man of Remo Stars being assaulted by fans of the home team to stop him from filming the perpetuated act by the home team.

According to an eyewitness account per Pulse, the match official had to manufacture a late winner for the home side to avert a possible mob action by agitated fans of Katsina United.

Reacting to the incident, some fans have scoffed at the barbaric act by the home team on social media with some calling for the sacking of the NFF boss.

@y.cole: Can we call it THIRD HALF?

@bobbyikenna: Sack Amanu Pinnick. Simple! Man has ruined Nigeria football

@porsche_btc says: Home must win or draw

@darasho_: Haba 30mins extra time

@kmpy411: Away can never win na only for Nigeria League I see ham

@rolexmilly: Lol i can’t even name a single player from the Nigeria league, show you how irrelevant the league is.

The NPFL saw another act of hooliganism on Wednesday when the Chairman of Kano Pillars, Alhaji Jambul was captured on camera punching the assistant referee during their clash with Dakkada FC.

Look at the number of fans assaulting the Remo Stars media man @michaeloniks He could easily have been killed.

Kano Pillars on Wednesday. Katsina Utd today. #NPFL22 is a failing and LMC aren’t seeing it or are they just blind?! pic.twitter.com/tCCsbZDhmm
