Ogun State FA Cup: A Case of Match Fixing as Goalkeeper Refuses to Dive During Penalty Shootout (Video)

A concerned fan has expressed his disbelief at the theatrics and indecent display of sportsmanship that occurred in the game between Nigeria Football League Club Remo Stars and Nigerian National League side Ijebu United in the Ogun State FA Cup semifinal game. 

The viral video shows the goalkeeper of the Remo Stars refusing to dive but rather, choose to standstill while the Ijebu United player took the spotkick and the player of the Remo Stars skyrocketing his penalty kick to the other side of the stands.

This singular act has raised eyebrows, indicating that there’s a case of match fixing, allowing Ijebu United to take the victory in the game. This incident is under investigation by the League Management Company and according to Ibukun Aluko of IBK Sports, the management of the team will be called for questioning on his podcast show.
