FIFA to investigate Bahrain's World Cup win
英语课
GENEVA, March 1 (Xinhua) -- FIFA have announced an investigation 1 Thursday into Bahrain's staggering 10-0 World Cup win over Indonesia in a World Cup qualifying match in Manama.
The visiting goalkeeper was sent off after just two minutes, and Bahrain's win on Wednesday has raised suspicion because it needed to make up a nine-goal difference on Qatar in the group standings to have a chance of reaching the next round.
Bahrain also needed Qatar to lose its last match, but Qatar tied with Iran 2-2 to instead reach the next stage of the Asian qualifying tournament.
"Given the unusual outcome in relation to the results-expectation and head-to-head history, and in the interests of maintaining unequivocal confidence in our game, FIFA Security will conduct a routine examination of this game and its result," said a FIFA statement.
"The important thing is that if there are suspicions you have to investigate it," FIFA Vice 2 President Prince Ali said during a trip to London. "It might just be a coincidence, however there might be something behind it."
