Players summoned in Spain match-fix probe

A SPANISH state prosecutor summoned players for questioning yesterday regarding possible match-fixing in a 2011 Spanish league game between Levante and Real Zaragoza.

The state prosecutor’s office in Madrid said in an email that it “has started procedures to investigate match-fixing and has summoned players implicated for questioning on October 3”.

The match under investigation was played during the last round of the 2010-11 season. Zaragoza won 2-1 at Levante on two goals by current Atletico Madrid captain Gabi Fernandez. That victory saved Zaragoza from relegation. In June 2013, the Spanish league president, Javier Tebas, included the Levante vs Zaragoza match in a list of nine matches that the league was investigating for possible match-fixing.
