Team repeatedly scores own goals to protest refs (149-0)

ANTANANARIVO -- Madagascan football authorities plan to take severe action against club Stade Olympique l'Emyrne, who scored a world-record 149 own goals in protest against alleged refereeing bias in a match on Thursday.

SOE lost the game 149-0 to AS Adema in the last game of the Indian Ocean island's league championship on Thursday.

SOE's coach Ratsimandresy Ratsarazaka orchestrated the protest from the stands as the Antananarivo-based side began repeatedly firing shots into their own net from the opening whistle.

The Midi Madagasikara newspaper reported Saturday that the club now faced severe sanctions for their bizarre protest in the match against Adema, who clinched the title last weekend.
