The opening match of the Nigeria Professional Football League(NPFL) ended in crisis after FC IfeanyiUbah left the pitch at the beginning of the second half of the game with Kano Pillars.
The home team took the lead towards the end of the first half, but the decision of the referee to cancel a free kick scored by IfeanyiUbah was not taken in good faith.
The goal was disallowed because the referee had blown for half time.
The manager of the club earned a red card in the second half, for complaining over the issue.
