CONCACAF probe reveals no evidence of match fixing at Gold Cup

Match fixing allegations during 2015 Gold Cup tournament turned out to be a false alarm.

CONCACAF, football’s governing body in North America, has announced that there was no evidence of match fixing during the quarterfinal and semifinal matches of the 2015 Gold Cup.

“CONCACAF found no clear or convincing evidence of match fixing or an intentional effort to affect the results of the Gold Cup 2015 matches,” said the organization in a statement, adding that the decisions could be attributed to “simple mistakes, errors in positioning, and/or lack of concentration”

Mexico‘s 2-1 semifinal victory over Panama during last year’s Gold Cup has been clouded with controversy.
