149 own goals in one match: the most bizarre football match of all time!

NEW DELHI: One of the strangest moments of soccer The story took place in 2002 during a match of the national league of Madagascar, where the Stade Olympique de L’Emyrne (SOE) deliberately scored 149 own goals against their opponents, AS Adema.
The final score, 149-0, remains a world record for the highest goal-scoring football match, but the reasons behind the score are as bizarre as the result.
This was no ordinary match, but a protest by the SOE against what it considered unfair refereeing in a previous match.
SOE were in a tight title race with AS Adema, but a controversial refereeing decision in an earlier match eliminated them from the championship race.
Feeling aggrieved and powerless to reverse the decision, the SOE players took matters into their own hands in their next match.
From the first whistle, the SOE players began intentionally kicking the ball into their own net, over and over again.
AS Adema players and supporters watched in amazement as the score climbed without AS Adema having to touch the ball. By the end of the match, SOE had scored 149 own goals, a record.
Although AS Adema technically won the match and the championship, this strange demonstration overshadowed the result.
THE Malagasy Football Federation SOE officials responded quickly with severe sanctions. SOE coach Zaka Be was suspended for three years, while four SOE players, including their captain, were suspended for the remainder of the season.
The protest was widely criticised as unsportsmanlike, but it also highlighted the deep frustrations that can arise from perceived injustices in football.
Fans and players alike were stunned by this form of rebellion, and the match has since become an infamous part of football lore.
To this day, this match marked by 149 own goals remains one of the strangest and most unforgettable events in football.
