Controversy might cause disqualification

Yesterday semi final match between Dettol and Cyberheat was marred by chaos. After 1-1 draw and an endless penalty kick sudden deaths. Match officials decided to choose the winner by tossing coin, abiding the rule developed by the FA as a last resort to actually announce the winner of an endless match. What seems a simple solution turned complicated when a few of Cyberheat players went bonkers accusing that the rule destroys the image of the beautiful game and hence they stand their ground to disagree to the matter. What happened later was not clear as the sky at that time but one thing for sure it didn't stop the match officials to get fed up with the Cyberheat players and with no hesitation they all went back home resulting the match became abbandoned.

Following the rules applied, Cyberheat is heading for an automatic disqualification but that is yet to be confirmed. Feedbacks from keen spectators around the pitch were random, some to stick to the rules while others suggest to settle the matter on Winning Eleven 12 because its already dark at that time.
The FA committee members will gather up to meet and discuss about the matter and the decision will be announced later this week.
