    A fresh twist to the ill-fated game between Bayelsa United and El-Kanemi Warrriors may force the League Management Company (LMC) to uphold the 1-1 result that existed before the controversial second goal that led to the abandonment of the game played at Sapele Township Stadium last Sunday.

    The game was tied at 1-1 at regulation time but when the home team scored the disputed goal after added time, hell was let loose as the second assistant referee, Gbenga Olayinka from Kwara State raised his flag to signal an offside position of player against a Bayelsa United player before the ball got to the back of the net.

    More confusion ensued after the center referee Ajao Ibrahim ran to the center circle to signal that it was indeed a goal, a situation which saw players of the away side surround the referee.
