Originally posted by bartajax:Well its clear Zagreb wanted to loose, I dont know why but I think it wont matter anymore for Ajax. Only Zagreb could get a financial penalty or something but it wont have any influence on Lyon or Ajax. Or there should be prove that Lyon payed money to Zagreb for letting them score so much.
It is just the season Ajax is in I guess, playing bad and having bad luck in the competition, a lot of fights in the border, the half of the squad is out with injury's and now this.
Match fixing is match fixing, look what happened to Juventus and co in Serie A a few years ago. If Zagreb threw the game to Lyon on purpose then I don't see no reason why Uefa can't call it a forfeit and award Lyon a 3-0 victory, effectively eliminating them. If they did a dodgy deal behind the scenes then I'd expect both teams to be fined and potentially prevented from entering the competition next year.
It may well be though that it was a completely legitimate, unlikely, incredible comeback...
