Fifa have confirmed they are investigating claims of match-fixing during the international friendly between Nigeria and Argentina on Wednesday evening.
The Super Eagles thumped the South Americans 4-1 in Abuja, but Fifa suspect not all was kosher with the result, with a high number of bets placed when the score was 4-0 raising suspicion.
Nigeria had raced into a four-goal lead through Ike Uche’s brace, Victor Obinna and Emmanuel Emenike, but Argentina pulled one back in bizarre circumstances – through a penalty after an apparent handball by Joseph Yobo, and eight minutes into the five minutes supposed to be added on by Niger referee Ibrahim Chaibou!
“Fifa can confirm that this match between Nigeria and Argentina was one that we had an active interest in, and forms part of a wider ongoing Fifa investigation,” world football’s governing body told the Daily Telegraph.
