Former Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Sevidov expressed doubts whether the match between Mariupol and Gornyak-Sport in 2016 was not a set-up.
- "Mariupol vs Gornyak-Sport - is it a arranged match?
- I can't tell you...
- Is it a clean match? What do you think?
- Now I already doubt it. I've been convinced and I already have doubts.
In the match between Mariupol, led by Sevidov, and Gornyak-Sport, the team from Goryshnyi Plavni won 1-0 in the first half, but then conceded three times in the second half. At the time, Federbet's head of collusion detection, Francesco Baranka, said the following about the match: "The match was an outrageous rigged affair. They rigged everything. The visitors win in the first half and the home team win in the match, the home team win with a handicap (-1), total more than 3.5 goals. Disgusting."
