The Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) has awarded three points and three goals to Enugu Rangers, whose game against Enyimba, at the weekend, was disrupted by fans alleged to be supporters of Enyimba of Aba.

The game at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, on Sunday, was abandoned in the 98th when the centre referee awarded a controversial penalty kick to Rangers, leading to a riotous situation, which forced the officials to call off the game.

In its decision on the game, the NPFL charged both Rangers and Enyimba for breaching the rules of the game.

Specifically, the NPFL ordered Enyimba to pay 10 million naira and ordered the Aba side to identify and produce for further investigation and appropriate sanctions the players and officials involved in the fracas that led to the discontinuation of the game.

Enyimba also lost three points and three goals as punishment for their role in the crisis.

The NPFL charged Rangers for breach of Rule B15.24 relating to selling tickets beyond the capacity of the stadium, leading to overcrowding and endangering the safety of players, match officials and fans.

Rangers was therefore fined a total of 5 million naira and ordered to implement a more effective crowd control mechanism in subsequent home games.
