FIFA has launched an investigation into the "unusual outcome" of Bahrain's 10-0 victory over a weakened Indonesia team in a World Cup qualifying match.
Bahrain's win on Wednesday has raised suspicion because it needed to make up a nine-goal deficit on Qatar in the group standings to have a chance of advancing to the next round.
Bahrain also needed Qatar to lose its last match, but the Qataris scored an 83rd-minute equalizer in a 2-2 draw at Iran to instead reach the next stage of the Asian qualifying tournament.
Yesterday, a Fifa delegation arrived in South Africa to commence the 4-day Southern Africa leg of their global investigation into match fixing.
The enquiry is centered on the refereeing and outcome of the 4 friendlies that Bafana Bafana played in the final build up to the 2010 World Cup.
