The General Secretary of the Russian Football Union (RFU), Maxim Mitrofanov, stated that there are no facts confirming the unsportsmanlike nature of the match between "Kolomna" and the media league team "Amkal" (1:8).
"So far, I have not seen any conclusions that would confirm the facts of a fixed match. As far as I understand, this could simply have been a weak and talentless performance by the team," Mitrofanov told TASS.
On August 20, the RFU confirmed that the organization's game protection department is conducting an internal investigation regarding the players of "Kolomna" following the match against "Amkal," which took place in the first round of the Regional Path of the FONBET Russian Cup.
