The Ukrainian Football Association has launched an investigation into a suspicious match played in the UPL.

In the Ukrainian Premier League, a fixed match may have been played. The game of the 19th round between Ingulets and Minai fell under suspicion.

It can be recalled that Minay led the score until the 85th minute, but eventually lost the match. First, Oleksandr Melnyk scored an own goal, and in the last seconds of extra time, the guests took three points thanks to a penalty for a handball by a player from the Uzhgorod team.

The fact that the fight may not be sportsmanlike was first reported by Sergei Bolotnikov. This was reported to the journalist by some insiders. It is said that Minay voluntarily gave up the fight, as thanks for winning the first round.

At the same time, the reporter himself doubted this, suggesting that in fixed matches, usually, they do not wait until the last minute to give the victory.

However, the ethics and fair play committee of the Ukrainian Football Association has already launched an investigation into these rumors.

“We are already working on it. We will check all the information, and after that we will understand if everything was good in the match or not.

Of course, we are at an early stage, so we cannot make any statements. But, like any information, we will analyze it carefully,” the head of the committee, Francesco Baranca, told Tribuna.
