The company ARJEL, which controls gambling in France, became interested in whether the Champions League match between Zagreb's "Dinamo" and "Lyon" on Wednesday was not influenced by criminal agreements. In Croatia, the French team won 7-1 and advanced to the quarter-finals, surpassing Amsterdam's "Ajax" in goal difference. Before the match, "Lyon" knew they had to wait not only for the Dutch club to lose to Madrid's "Real", but also to calculate the goal difference, which was -7 in favor of Lyon's team before the last round. Ultimately, the situation turned upside down because "Lyon" won with a rare six-goal margin in top-level football, while "Ajax" suffered a 0-3 defeat. Interestingly, the French eleven scored six goals in just 28 minutes, although before that she had only scored twice in five matches (450 minutes). Rumors immediately surfaced that "Dinamo" agreed to sell the match for 2.1 million euros. In addition, a solid bonus should go to the president of the Croatian club, Zoran Mamic. The suspicions, which UEFA does not comment on, are only reinforced by some of the goals scored in the mentioned match. The second goal by "Lyon": "Dinamo" goalkeeper Ivan Kelava for some reason did not even try to raise his hands to deflect the shot. Immediately after the second goal, "Dinamo" lost the ball in the middle of the field and conceded another goal due to numerous defensive errors. "Dinamo" defenders once again leave "Lyon" forward behind them, and goalkeeper Kelava fails to save the situation. "Dinamo" defender simply stops and allows Aly Cissokho to pass to Bafetimbi Gomis, who scores another goal. The goalkeeper does not react to the shot.
