The Midi Madagasikara newspaper reported Saturday that the club now faced severe sanctions for their bizarre protest in the match against Adema, who clinched the title last weekend.
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.
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.
The club would be charged by the Malagasy federation for their action and several key players could also face sanction, Midi Madagasikara said.
