La Liga clash poised to be investigated for alleged match fixing

Spain's anti-corruption prosecutor could be ready to file charges in a suspected case of match-fixing involving La Liga clubs Levante and Real Zaragoza early next week, reports The Guardian. A spokesman for the prosecutor's office said it was "possible" the charges, which relate to a game on the final day of the 2010-11 season, will be filed in a Valencia court on Monday or Tuesday, confirming a report in the Marca sports< daily on Friday.

Zaragoza won the match at Levante's Ciutat de València stadium 2-1, avoiding relegation to the second division, and the prosecutor's office has been investigating whether the home players were paid to lose.
