Hungarian football club Honvéd suspected of match-fixing
The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) is investigating seven games including the first qualification Champions League game between Fenerbahce and Budapest Honvéd on suspicion that the match was fixed.
Fenerbahce took the first leg 5-1, after which the teams drew 1-1 in Budapest, meaning the Turkish team won 6-2 on aggregate.
Honvéd stressed it is ready to co-operate in a announcement posted on its website, adding that it is certain that it is not in any way implicated, "although all clubs, including Honvéd, could have players ready to betray their club, fellow players and supporters for their own selfish financial gain".
