NYON, Switzerland (AP) — UEFA is investigating evidence that suggests a Europa League match was fixed last month.
UEFA says its betting fraud monitoring system “has detected suspicious betting patterns” in Albanian club Tirana’s 5-0 loss against Aalesund of Norway.
European soccer’s governing body says it has “mandated a disciplinary inspector to further investigate the matter.”
Norway’s soccer association has said it was alerted by the national lottery, which stopped taking bets when the score reached 2-0 in the second-leg match of the second qualifying round July 26.
