my mistake...its actually 149-0
In November 2002, the Madagascan club, Stade Olympique l'Emryne, lost the last game of the island's league championship to AS Adema by deliberately scoring against themselves.
The Adema players who had clinched the title the week before, looked on in amazement as the Stade players scored against themselves immediately from the kick-off - and continued scoring until they had clocked up a world record 149 own goals!
With the title already decided, Stade Olympique's coach Ratsimandresy Ratsaraka , had organised this bizarre own-goal fest to protest a refereeing decision in the penultimate match of the play-off tournament - which handed the Ademas club the title.
The week before, SOE had been leading Domoina Soavina Atsimondrano 2-1, when a hotly disputed penalty was awarded against them late in the game.
As soon as the penalty was converted the referee blew the final whistle.
The resulting 2-2 draw meant Stade Olympique were out of contention for the title - and Adema were champions.
So the protest was staged.

Actually, I think the whole point was to make a statement, so they were hardly trying to be subtle 
I wonder what happened after each own goal... do u think the opposition just passed the ball to them and let them do the work? I probably would have either sat down and watched the show, or i would have offered to help them out, increasing my personal goal tally

it's not a bad idea...you're out of the running anyway,so you might as well do a publicity stunt

i heard that happen to the coach and most of the players..
