The Semifinal of the FCT ALGON Chairman’s Cup played in Kuje Township stadium between Bocknor Academy and Mamba Pro Academy lasted for 65 minutes as against 90 minutes.
The two teams arrived on time at 12.30 and 1p.m respectively. After the usual inspection, the match kicked of as scheduled 2 p.m.
Exactly 30 minutes CR (Emeka Charles) ended the 1st half to the surprise of his assistants and a handful of fans. After the usual break, the 2nd stanza restarted at exactly 35 minutes of play the CR blew the final whistle.
No indication of added time he quickly picked up his bag and zoomed off that he had another game elsewhere. His Assistant Referees were shocked at his behavior.
They admitted that the game was played below 90 minutes. They agreed that they would be willing to restart the match to complete the time.
Addition. The Chairman of Mamba Pro Academy Moses Obenda also admitted that the match was played 65 minutes.
