Awal bulan ini, Sul América menewaskan Atlético Amazonense AM dalam Siri B Kejohanan Amazon Brazil. Apabila seorang pemain Atlético menjaringkan gol menentang pasukannya, yang kesemuanya dirakam dalam video, penggera mula berbunyi.
Sekarang dan kemudian, pemain bola sepak mungkin secara tidak sengaja menjaringkan gol mereka sendiri. Walau bagaimanapun, ini tidak berlaku kali ini. Niat dan keputusannya adalah disengajakan, dan seorang pemain telah pun dipecat.

Kelakuan tidak sportif

Talk that Campos was participating in some type of match-fixing incident immediately surfaced. It wouldn’t be a case of rigging the outcome, though, as there was no way Atlético could bounce back. A likely alternative would be the total number of goals scored in the game.
However, this may not be the case. The president of Atlético, Henrique Barbosa da Costa, told reporters that he spoke with Campos after the game. The player indicated he was angry about the team’s general performance and the defeat. His actions were a way for him to vent his frustration. But they will cost him more than he could imagine.
Atlético issued a statement in which it chastised Campos for his unsportsmanlike conduct. It will open an internal procedure to investigate the incident.
Meanwhile, the current president of the Amazonas Football Federation (FAF, for its Portuguese acronym), Pedro Augusto, added his statement. At the same time, he opened the door for assistance from sports data companies like Sportradar. Augusto said that the organization follows all games statistically but doesn’t have a system or company to investigate possible manipulation.
However, the FAF already took the matter to Brazil’s Court of Justice for Sports. An investigation could lead to criminal charges.
Corruption in Brazilian Sports a Real Threat

There are currently 11 investigations open involving 17 soccer matches in different leagues. Local media outlet Veja reports that most of the allegations are linked to the suspicion that wagers may have determined the outcome of the games.
In one instance, Sportradar, which provided monitoring services to the FPF, found a high volume of bets on a Chinese betting site. The bets indicated that the game would end with at least three goals.
At the time, this wasn’t a possibility. However, shortly after, the game picked up its second and third goals under questionable circumstances.
Kebanyakan kes, sekurang-kurangnya di São Paulo, melibatkan pasukan kecil dari liga kecil. Walau bagaimanapun, orang yang dikaitkan dengan penyiasatan Togel HKG menyatakan bahawa wang yang beredar dalam perniagaan adalah astronomi. Mereka menegaskan bahawa, di Brazil sahaja, pertaruhan sukan luar pesisir bernilai AS$2.9 bilion, yang boleh menyebabkan pemain menjadi lebih bersedia untuk memotong perjanjian untuk sekeping tindakan.
