The irate fans of Sunshine Stars were said to have stormed the football field and attacked the referee and other football officials for failing to award their preferred team two penalty kicks which they believed they deserved.

 

The match was stopped with 10 minutes left on the clock when the fans invaded the pitch to beat up match officials as well as the Team Manager of Sunshine Stars, A. Adeleke.

 

During the outrage, the official camera man of Lobi stars was attacked, beaten to a pulp and his camera destroyed. He was immediately rushed to the hospital.

 

Lobi opened scoring after six minutes through Abdulrahman Bashir, but the home fans became unruly when they felt Sunshine ought to have been awarded two penalties in the course of the game.
