La Liga to investigate Barcelona’s 12-0 win - Mhiz Rebecca - 04-04-2017
President of La Liga, Javier Tebas, on Monday
confirmed that they will investigate Barcelona B’s 12-0
win over Eldense in a Segunda B fixture.
Barcelona B were 8-0 up after the first half, of the match
played at the Mini Estadi on April. They went on to
score four more in the second half.
“We
are
going
to
look
into it
because the Eldense board have asked us to and the
result at half time was out of the ordinary,” Tebas told
reporters in Spain on Monday.
“We’re going to investigate because there are certain
collateral issues with an Italian investment group that
bear the hallmarks of the possible involvement of an
international betting ring with a view to match-fixing.”
The result, which was a joint record score for the
Segunda B division, saw Eldense relegated with six
matches left.
Eldense player Cheikh Saad, speaking to Spanish radio
station RAC1, said: “There are four players involved in
match fixing. I don’t care what happens, but when I
can, I will give the names of these players.
“Half an hour before playing the game against Barcelona B I was starting, but then I was out of the line up. They told a teammate this game was fixed and if he wanted to play he should not
score goals. They didn’t ask me as they knew what my
answer would be. The coach knew something, I’m sure,
and the players too.
“The coach told me to come on and I told him I did not
want to. I also told my teammates on the bench that
they shouldn’t go out on to the pitch if they didn’t want
their names to be stained.”
