Pirata FC loses with a scandalous victory in League 2 and files a serious lawsuit

The last matchday of the regular phase of League 2 produced a surprising result. The Chankasfrom Andahuaylas defeated Pirata FC with a scandalous result of 11-0, thereby securing participation in the playoffs for promotion to League 1 in 2024. This result caused an immediate reaction from the club from Lambayecan, which lodged a serious complaint.

The Northern team called on the FPF and the Association of Professional Footballers (Safap) to investigate this “suspicious result, which responds to non-sporting factors”.

“Our club fulfills the work obligations of its employees and professional players seriously and responsibly at all times. However, we are several professional clubs in League 1 and League 2 that have been harmed by this inappropriate behavior of some players who have reacted to the match-fixing and betting that is damaging the investments of the professional clubs at great expense,” the document says , which they attached on their social networks.

It is important to highlight that this is not the first complaint related to sports betting in Peruvian football. A few days ago, former football player Víctor Rossel explained that six Cantolao players were separated because they were involved in match-fixing.

“(…) Unprecedented non-sporting things have happened, in Municipal and Cantolao players were separated for non-sporting reasons. In Cantolao, six players were separated for sports betting reasons,” he said.
