November 2002: record score of 149-0, set in a championship decider in Madagascar
ANTANANARIVO -- Madagascan football authorities plan to take severe action against club Stade Olympique l'Emyrne, who scored a world-record 149 own goals in protest against alleged refereeing bias in a match on Thursday. SOE lost the game 149-0 to AS Adema in the last game of the Indian Ocean island's league championship on Thursday.
SOE's coach Ratsimandresy Ratsarazaka orchestrated the protest from the stands as the Antananarivo-based side began repeatedly firing shots into their own net from the opening whistle. SOE, last year's champions, deliberately scored one own goal after another in a pre-determined protest over refereeing decisions that had gone against them during the four-team playoff to determine the national championship.
SOE, AS Adema, US Ambohidratrimo and Domoina Soavina Atsimondrano (DSA) played out a round-robin tournament at Adema's home ground in Toamasina over 11 days to decide the title, with Adema securing the championship last Sunday.
The league crown went to Adema after SOE were held to a 2-2 draw by DSA in their penultimate match of the tournament, also on Sunday, with referee Benjamina Razafintsalama awarding a late and hotly disputed penalty against SOE, which saw them held to a draw and knocked out of the title race.
With the championship already decided, SOE decided to make an own goal protest but they are now likely to forfeit second place and qualification for next year's Confederation of African Football (CAF) Cup. The newspaper said the farce led to spectators descending on the ticket booths to demand a refund.

I think Portsmouth vs. Reading in 2007 (if your talking about the epl). Portsmouth won 7-4
