CONCACAF To Investigate Possible Match Fixing in RSL vs. Arabe Unido Game

The spokesperson for CONCACAF, Benjamin Spencer, has told an interviewer from the newspaper Panama America that the association is investigating a possible match-fixing scheme to influence the results between Real Salt Lake and Arabe Unido during their  game in the CONCACAF Champions League group play.

The investigation comes in the wake of Real Salt Lake's 2-1 victory over Arabe Unido in the Group A game. Football clubs Toronto FC and Cruz Azul are also part of Group A but are not involved in the investigation.

While there have been no reports of match fixing by the players, the CONCACAF is still investigating what they consider "third parties" in this situation. CONCACAF is already in the first phase of the inquiry.

They announced that there will be a second phase of the investigation after videos showed "people entering a hotel, although no players were present."

While the CONCACAF spokesperson has announced that they will do everything to maintain the integrity of soccer, I am asking myself where the proof is besides people entering a hotel room?

Who are the "third parties" committing the match fixing?

The only thing that I can think of is that this is a breaking news story with more evidence forthcoming.
