Pillars Blast Ref For Wolves Victory

Glo League Champi
ons, Kano Pillars have said they lost to the referee and not Warri Wolves in a Nigeria league Week 24 game.
The league leaders fell 2-1 at Warri Wolves on Sunday.
The club’s media officer Idris Malikawa said Pillars were highly disappointed with the way the game was handled by the referee and therefore called on the League MC for close monitoring of the league in this second round for smooth landing.
“The officiating was so bad and it was so unfortunate the way we lost the game. The second goal and the winner was a good goal, but the first one was never a goal,”said Malikawa.
“The ball did not cross the line and initially the referee called for a corner. Later he changed his mind and pointed to the centre for a goal.
“I am calling on the LMC to closely monitor the league, and let their assessors to matches in the second round be unknown so that they could report the truth.
“Governments are spending money on the teams and won’t be happy when games are manipulated.”
