Italian Serie C outfit Pro Piacenza suffered an embarrassing 20-0 bashing from hosts Cuneo on Sunday after fielding only seven players at kick-off.

Thus they had limited option by naming six youth-team squad members alongside a physiotherapist in their starting line-up after a youth-team players forgot his ID at home.

An 18-year-old, Cirigliano, was handed double responsibility after being named as captain and coach in the absence of team’s technical crew, who along other players were allegedly missing in action after they have not received their salaries since August 2018.

Local media channel Sport Piacenza revealed that Cuneo, who could only net 18 times in their previous 24 fixtures in Serie C this term, led 16-0 at the end of the first stanza with forward Hicham Kanis scoring double hat-trick.

Afterwards Sport Piacenza opted to end its live broadcast after 180 seconds into the contest.

“We refuse to continue the live match report. We postpone the appointment with our readers until the end of this farce, when we communicate the final result,” a release from Sport Piacenza read in part.

Interestingly, Pro Piacenza currently are bottom of the Serie C log with eight points from 20 matches, having suffered eight points deducted.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
